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 slow-paced point-and-click adventure with a tense, eerie atmosphere as you investigate gruesome mysteries and uncover forgotten secrets.

What players say

Players say the Steam version is broken out of the box, requiring manual fan patches to save, load, or finish the game. Once running, it is a notoriously awful point-and-click with cryptic puzzles, bad voice acting, and a cheesy plot, yet some find its failures genuinely entertaining.
