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 cheerful and methodical puzzle-platformer where you carefully guide helpers and solve block-pushing challenges to reach each teleporter.

What players say

Players are split on Mysterious House. Some enjoy its logic-based platforming and puzzle design, calling it fun and engaging. Others criticize its short length of under two hours, high price, lack of saving and achievements, and basic graphics. The inability to rebind controls and repetitive music also draw complaints.
