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 witty, text-driven comedy of manners where every choice leads to a new layer of social scheming and humorous misadventure.

What players say

Players love the humor and writing, calling it a worthy follow-up to Tally Ho. Many are frustrated that the game is clearly part one of an unfinished trilogy, with no sequel in sight years later. A few also feel the game pushes DLC for in-game money.
