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 relaxed hidden-object adventure through a steampunk Victorian world, driven by curiosity and gentle exploration.

What players say

Players say it improves on the first game but remains a mixed bag. It offers 3-4 hours of hidden-object scenes with scrollable and zoomable areas, though some objects are tiny and hard to spot. The beautiful art and voice acting get praise, while technical glitches, an abrupt ending, and a few unclear puzzles draw complaints.
