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 witty, hand-drawn detective adventure with a slow-burn conspiracy revealed through puzzle solving and exploration.

What players say
Players are split on the story and puzzles: some find the plot intriguing and the later puzzles clever, while others call the story middling and the ending poor. Fans of the first two games will find familiar charm, but newcomers are told to start with the originals. The hand-drawn art is widely praised as gorgeous.
