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 thoughtful point-and-click adventure with a supernatural detective duo, where you solve mysteries by connecting bizarre events in a subdued, atmospheric city.

What players say

Players recommend starting with Blackwell Unbound because this game is a direct sequel. The puzzles are fair without moon logic, and the atmosphere and music are highlights, though some find the jazzy soundtrack drowns out dialogue. Many say the series improves with each installment.
