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, whimsical hidden-object hunt through charmingly spooky rooms, with a lighthearted story and relaxed puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players enjoy this hidden object game for its comedic ghost stories and the mini games that cap each chapter, though some find the click detection overly strict. It is a short, easy title that is no longer sold, and there are no achievements.
