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.

A leisurely spooky adventure where you uncover the history of an English manor through hidden-object puzzles and exploration.

What players say

Players like the creepy atmosphere and love triangle story, but many report the game is short even with the bonus chapter. There is a known game-ending bug on the family tree puzzle that can block completion, and some find the hidden object scenes too numerous. Players also note the lack of a mini-map and say the music and sound do not add much.
