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 call it a solid but not standout point-and-click adventure. Most puzzles are logic-based rather than moon logic, and a hotspot highlight feature removes pixel-hunting. Players split on quality, some find it charming and nostalgic, others call it mediocre and say it copies Broken Sword. The English voice acting is widely noted as comically bad, and the game runs well on Steam Deck.
