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 methodical and serious point-and-click detective game where you carefully follow police procedures and solve crimes in a retro pixelated world.

What players say

Players call the collection a nostalgic trip, but many warn it is a lazy DosBox port that lacks modern features like proper copy protection documentation. Sentiment is split: some praise Police Quest 2 as the standout, while others find Police Quest 4 buggy with terrible graphics and the driving mini-games tedious.
