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 playful, narrative-heavy point-and-click adventure with a cartoonish, comedic tone that balances pirate mischief and puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players are split on this Monkey Island entry. Some say the characters, aside from LeChuck, feel out of character and the puzzles are often confusing, relying on trial and error. Others enjoy it as a decent adventure and note the 3D transition is well done, though the controls can be finicky. The game is episodic and best played as a whole.
