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.

What players say

Players describe it as a short hidden object game with a historical mystery story, but many complain the voice acting is flat and the colors are dull. The puzzles are mostly standard, though some hidden object scenes require inventory items, which is unusual for the genre. Opinions split on the amount of dialogue: some find it too heavy for a HOG, others enjoy the Dan Brown-like plot.
