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 relaxed, narrative-driven hidden object game set in the icy Arctic, where you uncover the fate of a lost expedition through gentle exploration and clue-finding.

What players say

Players say the game is a very short hidden-object experience that can be finished in 2 to 5 minutes, but it is plagued by crashes and game-breaking bugs that often require file tweaks or restarts to proceed. Some call it an asset flip or shovelware, while a few enjoy the hand-drawn art and atmosphere, though even they note the music gets repetitive.
