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 dark fantasy hidden-object adventure with methodical puzzle solving and a cinematic story, feeling like a point-and-click journey through a ominous fairytale world.

What players say

Players say this third entry in the series is more of the same solid hidden-object puzzle gameplay, though many note the Collector's Edition is identical to the free version with microtransactions. The story is considered short but engaging, with a bonus chapter and a range of minigames. Some mention the English localization is noticeably worse than in previous games.
