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 deliberate, investigative point-and-click with a dark, hand-drawn atmosphere and methodical puzzle-solving.

What players say

A short point-and-click adventure with hand-drawn art and a boss fight. Players appreciate the folklore setting but note the puzzles are easy and the Sherlock achievements can be buggy. There is a time-limited puzzle that resets, and the difficulty can be adjusted.
