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.

What players say

Players are split on this remake. Some praise the improved puzzles, art, and atmosphere, while others say it loses the charm of the original by removing branching choices and making the story more linear. It is short, about an hour, but some report bugs including softlocks and achievement issues.
