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 methodical hidden-object adventure that feels like unraveling a quiet, eerie mystery at your own pace.

What players say

Players appreciate the basilisk theme and challenging hidden object scenes, but they split on the story, some find it decent while others call it weak. The game is short at around 3 hours with a few technical issues like lag and freezing, and the ending feels abrupt to some.
