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 linear point-and-click detective story where you move through a mysterious island, watch cutscenes, and connect clues with minimal interaction.

What players say

Players find Tail Trail a short, cutscene-heavy mystery with a forced story and little real gameplay. The controls are widely called awkward, the map is useless, and the 'thought' mechanic railroads conclusions. Many wish for multiple endings or free exploration, but the game stays linear and feels like a tech demo.
