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 silly, hand-drawn point-and-click where you fumble through history solving puzzles with cartoonish humor and a light, casual tone.

What players say

Players enjoy this short, funny point-and-click adventure about helping historical geniuses. The puzzles are fair but can be unintuitive, and the walking speed is slow. It runs well on Steam Deck, though some wish it were longer.
