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 leisurely point-and-click investigation through a tranquil Scottish estate that hides eerie supernatural oddities.

What players say

Players call it a short, nostalgia-driven point-and-click from 2001 that has aged poorly. It lacks widescreen support and runs at 4:3, the puzzles are sometimes illogical or rely on pixel hunting, and permadeath forces frequent saves. The story and atmosphere are praised, but sentiment is split on whether the price is fair for such an old game.
