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 lighthearted fantasy adventure where your moral choices shape your character's appearance and reputation, with a classic feel and enhanced visuals.

What players say

Players say the good-vs-evil choices and British humor give the game a distinct charm that still works today. The combat is basic and the story is straightforward, but that simplicity is part of the appeal. Some call it dated and clunky, especially if they didn't play it as a child. A recurring wish across reviews: bring Fable 2 and 3 to Steam.
