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 gentle fantasy adventure where you solve hidden-object puzzles to restore a magical kingdom,

What players say

Players say this sequel ditches the quirky charm of the first game for a generic, darker hidden-object formula. The story is dull and there is no romance despite the title, but fans praise the challenging puzzles and variety of minigames. Some note the graphics and animations feel dated.
