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 moody, noir-infused comedy with tricky puzzles and a vivid afterlife setting.

What players say

Players adore the writing, characters, and art style, calling it a classic point-and-click that holds up. They also widely warn that the puzzles are brutally obscure and the remaster suffers from frequent softlocks and crashes with no auto-save, so saving often is mandatory.
