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 slow-paced point-and-click puzzle game with a dark family mystery and a subtle paranormal atmosphere.

What players say

Players say this is a short, casual point-and-click game that looks like a hidden object game but has no hidden object scenes. The puzzles are easy, the story is basic, and the game can crash or soft-lock. Some found the voice acting and ending unsatisfying.
