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, atmospheric puzzle adventure through a creepy monastery, blending casual exploration with a mild horror undertone and a focus on solving mysteries.

What players say

Players describe this as a short point-and-click adventure misleadingly tagged as a hidden object game, since it has no traditional HO scenes. Reviews agree the story ends abruptly and anticlimactically, and the graphics feel dated even for 2014. Players split on whether it is a decent casual game on sale or a frustrating, repetitive experience with poorly placed items.
