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

Playing Altered Destiny feels like being catapulted into a vivid, bizarre alien world full of whimsical puzzles and retro charm, with a laidback pace driven by curiosity.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, difficult adventure from 1990 with a surreal story and a finicky typing parser. They note the Steam release is the inferior MS-DOS port rather than the Amiga version.
