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 suspenseful hidden-object adventure through a crumbling gothic manor, with puzzles and a creeping sense of dread.

What players say

Players are split on this entry: longtime fans say the game is shorter than earlier entries, with fewer hidden object screens and some puzzles lacking instructions. Several report bugs like missing voice lines and placeholder text, while others enjoy the graphics and find the puzzles challenging.
