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.

A leisurely point-and-click investigation through hand-drawn scenes, blending mild horror and mystery with relaxed puzzle solving.

What players say

Players praise Demon Hunter 5 as a solid return to form after the fourth game, with an atmospheric museum setting and a rare male lead. Many note the hidden object scenes are fewer than in previous entries, and the voice acting draws strong mixed reactions for its quality. The story stands alone from the series, and most agree it is best played on sale.
