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 slow-paced, storybook-like point-and-click adventure where you explore historical locations through gentle puzzles and narrative discovery.

What players say

Players describe a very short (around 2 hours) point-and-click hidden object game that values historical accuracy. The puzzles stay simple and casual, but the click zones can be annoyingly tiny and some items are nearly invisible. Many say it is a fine purchase at a steep discount.
