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 cynical, darkly comedic point-and-click adventure with a grotesque detective protagonist and a lurid British setting.

What players say

Players are split on this point-and-click adventure. Some enjoy its crude, British humor and find the puzzles clever, while others say the puzzles are illogical and the humor falls flat. Dialogue choices frustrate many, as there is usually only one correct option to advance.
