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 nostalgic, cartoonish adventure through a comedic detective story, blending point-and-click puzzles with a parody of crime tropes.

What players say

Players call this a classic Czech adventure with absurd humor, a gripping story, and top-notch voice acting, especially from Luděk Sobota. Opinions split on whether it is weaker than earlier entries, though many praise the nostalgic graphics and the variety of bizarre characters and minigames.
