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 silly, fast-paced point-and-click adventure with arcade mini-games and a goofy detective duo chasing absurd clues.

What players say

Players consistently report that the Steam version is missing about 10 levels from the original, though a community fix restores them. The puzzles are tough, especially the Great Wall and buoy puzzles, and the port has technical issues like lip-sync problems and stuck textures. Fans of the older games still find charm in the surreal humor, but warn newcomers away.
