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.

A relaxed detective adventure set at a pop culture convention, blending light mystery with quirky charm.

What players say

Players enjoy this fifth entry in the series for its bite-sized two-hour mysteries, retro graphics, and clever writing. The setting in a 1920s gothic hotel stands out, and repeat players appreciate that every game refines mechanics like riddles and mini-games. Some note movement is arrow keys only with no WASD option.
