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 cozy, atmospheric point-and-click mystery set in a snowy lodge, where you explore environments, solve puzzles, and interrogate suspects at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players are split on this one. Many love the cozy lodge setting and detective work, but the chores, cooking schedule, and the fox and geese minigame frustrate others. The game is seen as one of the weaker entries for its lack of puzzles and slow pacing.
