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 tricky, comedic retro point-and-click where assembling the right team of quirky characters matters as much as solving puzzles.

What players say
Players call it a faithful homage to Maniac Mansion that copies its structure, multiple characters, and puzzles, but opinion splits on a vampire lady who randomly traps the player, forcing a tedious escape. The puzzles are hard and the game has five endings, though several reviewers note dead ends and a thin story with little text.
