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 gentle, story-driven hidden-object puzzle adventure through a haunted mansion with a historical time-travel mystery.

What players say

Players say the time travel concept is fun but the game leans too heavily on hidden object scenes with poor visibility and no tutorial for puzzles. It is considered better than the first game yet still frustrating, especially on expert mode where repeat HO scenes are hidden.
