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

You slowly piece together clues in a dark asylum, solving hidden-object puzzles and mini-games while uncovering a personal mystery.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the connection to the 13th Skull and the story, others find the puzzles too easy and the game too short at around 3 to 4 hours. Many say it lacks the darker atmosphere and difficulty of earlier Mystery Case Files games, feeling more like a generic hidden-object puzzle game.
