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 lighthearted and straightforward 3D platformer with cute visuals and simple, relaxing gameplay.

What players say

Players say this is more like a DLC than a full sequel, with only four real levels and a short runtime. It expands some mechanics from Kao 2 but strips away others, and the port has a few bugs.
