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 comedic point-and-click adventure with a nostalgic, puzzle-filled feel and a lighthearted pirate tone.

What players say

Players agree the writing, humor, and music are top-notch, calling back to classic Monkey Island charm. But nearly every review warns about the move to keyboard-only tank controls and a clunky 3D engine, with many hitting bugs that block progress or require a walkthrough to finish.
