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, methodical whodunit where you solve puzzles and interview quirky villagers in a sleepy countryside setting.

What players say

Players are split on this quirky puzzle-mystery. Fans love the goofy British humor and the variety of brain-teasers, especially in local co-op. Critics say unskippable long cutscenes and a clunky drag-and-drop interface drag the pace down, and the culprit is often too obvious.
