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 slow-paced, story-driven hidden object adventure set in a chilly, mysterious Arctic environment.

What players say

Players are split on the story: some find it promising but full of holes and an abrupt ending, while others enjoy the fresh Arctic setting. A common complaint is that cutscenes have no audio. The game offers more puzzles than a typical hidden-object game, including an option to replace hidden-object scenes with jigsaw puzzles.
