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 gentle detective puzzler with hidden-object hunts and mini-games, paced for a relaxed mystery-solving session.

What players say

Players praise the hidden object scenes but report missing or mismatched voice acting and subtitles. Many note the lack of a map leads to excessive backtracking, and some players encountered progress-blocking bugs. Opinions on puzzle difficulty vary widely.
