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 sleazy, darkly funny point-and-click adventure where you play as a corrupt, drunken detective navigating absurd crime scenes.

What players say

Players say this second episode continues directly from the first with the same crude British humor, though some find the jokes forced and the character Lambert annoyingly stupid. It runs slightly longer than Episode 1 but involves more backtracking between locations, and opinions split on whether the comedy lands.
