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 tense, story-driven hidden-object puzzle game set in a haunting manor with psychological thriller elements.

What players say

Players are split on this entry. The story is dark and engaging, covering heavy topics, and the atmosphere is praised. However, many report frequent crashes, bugs, and a game that runs poorly on modern systems. The replacement of traditional hidden-object scenes with morphing objects is also controversial, with some finding it tedious.
