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

McPixel 3 feels like a rapid-fire, absurd cartoon where you blunder through increasingly ridiculous disaster scenarios with trial-and-error humor.

What players say

Players are split: some find it an absurd, laugh-out-loud point-and-click with dense gags, while others say the humor wears thin and the puzzles devolve into brute forcing every clickable object. The final level is a highlight, but music and repetition turn off some players.
