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 slow, grim point-and-click where you methodically parse cryptic riddles and navigate a plague-ridden, morally murky medieval world.

What players say

Players love the unique medieval setting and the option to play in Latin, but warn that the puzzles are obscure and require a walkthrough. The protagonist is a memorable jerk, and the game is full of easter eggs, though bugs and abandoned support frustrate long-time fans.
