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 comedic point-and-click adventure with a retro, cartoon-style feel, where you solve puzzles across time to stop a silly language-related plot.

What players say

Players celebrate this HD remaster of the classic Czech point-and-click, calling it the best entry in the series. It keeps the original gameplay while adding 4K graphics, achievements, and a hint system. The tone is notably darker and more serious than other Polda games, with a strong soundtrack and voice acting, though two locations are missing music compared to the original.
