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 hidden-object journey through hand-drawn scenes, blending a time-travel mystery with light exploration.

What players say

Players appreciate the unusual sci-fi story but are split on the timed minigames, which some find frustrating and out of place for a hidden object game. The translation is consistently called poor, and voice acting is robotic, yet many still enjoy the content.
