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 comedic point-and-click adventure filled with silly characters and head-scratching puzzles, moving at a leisurely, retro pace.

What players say

Players praise this as a lovingly crafted homage to retro point-and-click adventures, especially Space Quest. The humor is silly and reference-heavy, the puzzles are mostly fair and avoid pixel hunting, and the fully voiced cast adds charm. A few reviewers find the humor too forced or some solutions overly obtuse.
