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 cheesy, low-budget superhero spoof with tactical combat and a goofy sense of humor

What players say

Players praise the game's unique mix of turn-based RPG and point-and-click adventure, with a post-apocalyptic setting and silly superhero powers. The humor draws comparisons to The Tick, but the controls feel janky and DOSbox compatibility can be a hurdle. Longtime fans say it holds up after 30 years despite being technically outdated.
