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, noir-tinged detective game where you piece together clues through hidden-object scenes and logic puzzles at a relaxed, story-driven pace.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the long, non-supernatural detective story with many puzzles and multiple endings, but many others report fuzzy graphics, broken object-finding scenes, and important dialog options locked behind additional purchases that may never be fixed.
