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

It feels like playing the original board game on a computer, with a methodical, turn-based investigation that relies on logic and elimination rather than action or tension.

About

Released in 2008 for Windows, *Clue Classic* is an adaptation of the traditional mystery board game. Players gather at Mr. Boddy's mansion to investigate a murder and deduce the culprit among the suspects using available clues. The digital version allows users to solve the case on their PC without altering the original gameplay rules or narrative elements found in the source material.
