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 classic point-and-click adventure in a Celtic mythology setting, with many sidequests, multiple endings, and a focus on intrigue and exploration.

What players say

Players compare it favorably to classic Sierra games like King's Quest, noting it focuses on puzzles and choices rather than combat. The game has multiple solutions and endings, but some warn that critical items can be missed, leading to dead ends or blocking the best outcome.
