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 lighthearted yet darkly humorous point-and-click adventure through a vibrantly atmospheric ancient Egypt, driven by comic dialogue and puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players praise the witty Egypt-themed humor and soundtrack but warn about technical issues: alt-tabbing crashes the game and there is no auto-save, forcing manual saving. Puzzles are often described as needlessly obscure, and the 3D navigation feels sluggish. Opinions on the humor are split, with some finding it childish and dated.
