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 leisurely, story-driven point-and-click adventure through hand-drawn locales, blending lighthearted humor with a mysterious conspiracy to solve.

What players say

Players agree this is a faithful remaster that looks how they remember the original, helped by the ability to switch between old and new graphics on the fly. The puzzles are solid but some require trial and error, and opinions split on the main character's personality.
