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.

What players say

Players say the story is a touching, dark fairy tale but weaker and less clear than earlier entries. They split on the hidden object scenes: some enjoy the challenge while others find the pieces too small or hidden. It is also noted as short, around four hours, and the final game in the series.
