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

An atmospheric hidden-object adventure that follows the protagonist's emotional journey through 19th-century Paris, balancing discovery with narrative reflection.

What players say

Players say it is a very short hidden-object game with too much reading and repetitive scenes. The story is praised because it follows the novel, but the gameplay is monotonous, with simple puzzles and lots of backtracking, and there is no voice acting. Some note the hint system is unhelpful and objects are hard to spot, while a few report the game changes desktop resolution like a mobile port.
