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

Point-and-click sleuthing through a spooky manor, solving puzzles and interrogating suspects at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players praise the New Orleans setting, puzzles, and spooky atmosphere, though some find the puzzles tedious and the culprit obvious. A notable split: some call it a favorite while others say it is one of the weaker entries. Linux users report launch problems, and a fix involves installing to the C drive.
