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

You watch rooms and set traps through a security system in a mysterious mansion, feeling suspenseful and retro.

What players say

Players mostly praise Double Switch as a fun nostalgia trip and a clear video upgrade from the Sega CD original, especially for fans of FMV cheesiness. However, multiple users report the game is unplayable on Windows 7, and players also note it is repetitive, requires memorizing trap patterns to avoid frequent deaths, and that following the story distracts from scoring.
