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 hidden-object hunt through atmospheric, storybook-style scenes from a classic novel.

What players say

Players finish this hidden object game in 10 to 30 minutes, often calling it too easy. The cats are sometimes only tails or butts, and there is no zoom or scrolling. It is pleasant but feels as thin as the lowest tier of hidden object games, with players split on whether the low price justifies the length.
