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 vivid and humorous point-and-click adventure with quirky characters and puzzles, set in a cartoonish 1990s-style world.

What players say

Players are split on this lengthy point-and-click comedy. Many praise its classic LucasArts spirit, witty writing, and multiple puzzle solutions. But just as many find the dialogue overlong, the humor grating, and the story padded to the point of tedium, calling Betty either charming or insufferably annoying.
