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 somber, story-driven hidden object adventure that feels like piecing together a sorrowful mystery through quiet exploration and simple puzzles.

What players say

Players are split on this first entry in the Mystery Tales series. Some call the story boring, illogical, and poorly voiced, while others find the hidden object scenes challenging and appreciate the interactive map and match 3 options. The game feels dated, and long-time fans say later entries are more entertaining.
