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.

What players say

Players call it a faithful remake of Jones in the Fast Lane with modern twists like dynamic prices and weather events, but many note it lacks a save function and misses the original's voice lines. The developer is active with updates, though controller support and sound card compatibility have problems.
