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 and whimsical point-and-click adventure with a retro cartoon feel, driven by comedy and simple puzzle-solving across time-traveling locations.

What players say

Players are split on Polda 5: many call it the weakest entry in the series, but others find it underrated. The game sends you to three historical periods via time travel, has strong voice acting, but suffers from illogical puzzles and a short length. The character model for Pankrác is widely disliked.
