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 puzzle game set in a romanticized early 20th century Paris, where you methodically gather clues to solve a mystery.

What players say

Players say the game is a short, puzzle-driven detective story without actual hidden-object scenes. The story is cliche and the ending leaves questions unanswered, while puzzles sometimes feel tedious with imprecise drag-and-drop controls.
