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 that feels like exploring an expansive, retro fantasy world with deliberate puzzle-solving and a story-rich atmosphere.

What players say

Players adore this as a faithful sequel to the NES Shadowgate, with puzzles, multiple endings, and a soundtruck that captures the original's spirit. Some find it more linear and forgiving than the classic, with fetch quests and fewer deadly red herrings.
