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 slow-paced, atmospheric hidden-object adventure set in 1960s New York, focused on gentle puzzle-solving and unraveling a mysterious disease case.

What players say

Players say this is a polished hidden object game with an X-Files-like mystery, but many find the puzzles run too long and the main character's redesign is unpopular. The story is considered predictable and it takes longer to 100% than most in the genre.
