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.

A lighthearted, comedic detective romp through a whimsical murder mystery at the North Pole.

What players say

Players describe this as a very short, free visual novel that takes about 30 to 45 minutes to finish. The humor and artstyle are compared to old flash games, with a silly and absurd tone. It follows a journalist and a skeleton detective solving Santa's murder, and offers several endings and achievements.
