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 moody, narrative-driven point-and-click adventure with a dark supernatural mystery and a noir detective feel.

What players say

Players call this a strong, bittersweet finale to the series. The puzzles are a step up from the previous game, though some early puzzles stump players. The story and music are praised, while a few note the backgrounds look low-resolution and the UI changes feel generic.
