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 slow-paced, story-driven hidden object game where you unravel the protagonist's traumatic past through puzzles and exploration in a tense, atmospheric small town.

What players say

Players call it a short hidden object game that takes about 3 to 5 hours, with puzzles that are either nicely challenging or confusing and broken. The artwork and music create a spooky atmosphere, and some decisions affect the story, but a few reviewers note poor puzzle instructions and no manual saves.
