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, story-driven hidden-object puzzle adventure set in a colorful steampunk Paris, where you methodically solve mysteries at a relaxed pace.

What players say
Players call it a typical Artifex Mundi hidden-object game with a steampunk look and a science-themed story. Many find it too short, with no bonus chapter, and some note lifeless voice acting and easy puzzles. A few mention occasional freezes or a frustrating final puzzle.
