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.

A fast-paced interactive mystery with humorous, noir-flavored thrills and vivid talking characters.

What players say

Players call this a difficult and sometimes broken point-and-click adventure that demands a walkthrough. The story gets praise, but the interface lacks hotspot feedback, puzzles rely on trial and error, and the game can softlock if you miss a clue on Earth.
