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 classic point-and-click adventure set in a gritty cyberpunk dystopia where you solve puzzles and unearth conspiracies with a snarky AI companion.

What players say

Players praise the story, atmosphere, and humor, calling it a classic cyberpunk adventure that holds up well. The point and click gameplay feels slow and the puzzles can be obscure, requiring pixel hunting and trial and error.
