The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A whimsical point-and-click adventure through a quirky summer camp, where light puzzle-solving meets a gently mysterious forest tale.

What players say

Players describe it as a charming Professor Layton clone with a cute papercraft look and good voice acting, though it is very short at about 2-3 hours per episode. The controls feel designed for touch screens, and only two episodes were ever released.
