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 crude, darkly comedic point-and-click adventure where you solve puzzles as a grotesque, bumbling detective in a world of cynical absurdity and gory slapstick.

What players say

Players are divided on Hector: Badge of Carnage. Some enjoy its crude British humor and throwback point-and-click style, while others find the jokes forced and the protagonist unlikable. The game lacks modern conveniences like hotspot keys and manual saves, and its three episodes vary in quality.
