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.

What players say

Players say this is the best entry in the series, blending match-3 with hidden object scenes and jigsaw puzzles. It is relaxing and on the easy side, with a Halloween decoration system that requires some grind. A minority report a minor bug where an achievement pops at launch and one player says mouse controls do not work.
