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 stylish, retro-futuristic point-and-click puzzle adventure where you feel like a clever spy solving clever, logic-based contraptions in a quirky and charming cat-and-mouse game.

What players say

Players say Agent A is a short puzzle adventure with a charming art style and straightforward puzzles that rarely require a guide. However, many criticize the heavy backtracking and repetitive gameplay, and there are mixed feelings about the writing and humor, with some finding the protagonist's dialogue out of place.
