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 charming, nostalgic point-and-click adventure that feels like stepping back into a witty cartoon world of pirate hijinks and clever puzzles.

What players say

The game delivers a heartfelt, nostalgic journey that long-time fans will enjoy, though many find the puzzles too easy and the art style divisive. Players are split on the ending, with some calling it clever and others unfulfilling.
