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 love the spooky Irish castle atmosphere and quirky characters, but they are sharply split on the puzzles: many find them clever and engaging while just as many call them frustrating, especially the chemical reactor puzzle near the end. The game offers a Junior and Senior Detective difficulty mode.
