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

You play as a detective solving a murder case through hidden-object puzzles and point-and-click exploration in a dark, noir-inspired world.

What players say

Players split on this hidden-object adventure: some enjoy its puzzles and detective story, others find illogical item use and a gamebreaking bug that halts progress. The clicking feels delayed, background creaks annoy, and inventory space is small. Minigames are frequent and often skipped.
