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 relaxed, story-driven hidden-object adventure through a whimsical fantasy world with light puzzle solving.

What players say
Players are split on this entry: long-time fans call it the most disappointing part of the series, saying it feels disconnected from the Secret Order lore and has a flat story. Others find it a relaxing casual game. Several note the graphics look lower resolution than earlier games, and the bonus game is very short.
