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 calm, thoughtful pace of exploring 1930s environments, interrogating suspects, and solving puzzles in a cozy detective story.

What players say

Players praise the 1930s atmosphere and music, but many fault the minigolf puzzle as overly punishing and complain about tedious telegram delivery. The story is considered straightforward and faithful to early Nancy Drew books, while some note dated animations and occasional glitches.
