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

Playing feels like guiding a witty treasure hunter through a charming, not-too-serious puzzle-filled adventure with a light tone.

What players say

Players say this is a short, linear point-and-click adventure that takes under an hour and a half to complete. Many appreciate the nostalgic LucasArts-style graphics and humor, but find the puzzles simple and the story too brief to feel satisfying. Opinion is split on whether the price is fair, with most recommending picking it up only on sale.
