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 reflective, narrative-driven hidden-object adventure with a melancholic tone and gentle puzzle-solving tempo.

What players say

Players say the story picks up from the previous game but some feel the plot contradicts earlier entries. The atmosphere is more creepy than expected, though the graphics now look dated.
