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, reference-filled point-and-click adventure where you solve silly puzzles and chat with odd characters to help a lazy nerd get off the couch.

What players say

Players say it is a very short homage to classic Sierra point-and-click adventures with easy puzzles and a retro pixel look. Some find the writing and humor weak with unresponsive hotspots, while others enjoy the nostalgia and charm despite a clunky interface and two difficult action sequences.
