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 puzzle adventure with a dryly humorous story and a mysterious, slightly dark atmosphere.

What players say

Players call this the weakest entry in the series, citing a rushed and anticlimactic story, clunky 3D controls, and frequent bugs including a game-breaking one near the end. A few find the story and puzzles engaging despite the jank, but most agree the charm and humor of earlier games is missing.
