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 charming, story-rich point-and-click adventure with colorful hand-drawn art, gentle puzzle solving, and a light conspiracy mystery that feels like a modern tribute to 1990s classics.

What players say
Players split on this point-and-click adventure. Some enjoy the light history and cute art, but many call the story bland and the puzzles unfair, with several veterans needing walkthroughs. The lack of a run button and unskippable animations frustrate, and the game only lasts six to eight hours. Players commonly compare it to Broken Sword, often unfavorably.
