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 pixelated noir point-and-click mystery where you piece together clues in a gritty 1980s Las Vegas, with a methodical pace and a lingering sense of unease.

What players say

Players are split on this 1988 sequel. Some enjoy the nostalgia and laugh at its absurdity, but many find it more frustrating than the first game. The interface is dated, puzzles defy logic with timed events and unwinnable situations, and there is no widescreen support for modern PCs.
