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, story-driven hidden-object adventure through a dark forest with a fairy-tale mystery and light puzzles.

What players say

Players call this a clear improvement over the first game, with better hidden object scenes and a story that one reviewer says has one of the genre's most sympathetic antagonists. Many note the hint button does not work, the map does not fast travel, and there is a lot of backtracking. A few say the price is too high and recommend waiting for a sale.
