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 retro-style point-and-click adventure that feels like a clever, historically-grounded tale of masked heroism, balancing lighthearted humor with dramatic tension as you solve puzzles and duel with wit and sword.

What players say

Players are split on this throwback to 90s LucasArts adventure games. Its pixel art, music, and atmosphere are widely praised, but the game is just as widely criticized for requiring a PDF manual to start, heavy pixel hunting, illogical puzzles, and overly long dialogue. Many say the nostalgia hits, but the frustration outweighs it.
