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 moody, surreal point-and-click adventure where you solve cryptic puzzles and explore a dark family mystery on a cursed island.

What players say

Players praise the eerie atmosphere and the clever use of the ten plagues as chapter themes, calling it a strong entry in the series. Puzzles are mostly fair but some find the game easier than other Rusty Lake titles, and a few chapters feel weaker than others.
