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 lighthearted, cartoony mystery with comedic undertones where you investigate haunted hotel shenanigans and a murder.

What players say

Players describe a short, linear mystery visual novel with no branching or real puzzle-solving. The story is considered well-written with a good twist, but the game is very brief at around 1-3 hours, the text speed cannot be increased, and some reviews note the art could use polish. A few players mention a subtle supernatural element in the plot.
