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

Playing feels like guiding a lighthearted cartoon adventure where you solve puzzles, eat sandwiches, and banter with alien friends to save the galaxy.

What players say

Players say Bik is a well-designed homage to classic Sierra space adventures like Space Quest. The puzzles are satisfying and rarely frustrating, with most reporting they never needed a walkthrough. Some note the intentionally rough pixel art looks ugly at first but grows on them. The game is relatively short at 6-12 hours. A few players find the story fails to engage despite good puzzles.
