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 sleuthing adventure in a seedy noir world, solving a tangy crab mystery with deadpan humor and a leisurely, story-driven pace.

What players say

Players say this is a short point-and-click detective parody that takes about an hour to finish. The film noir style and silly humor get consistent praise, though a few miss the original's art style.
