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 darkly whimsical hidden-object adventure where you unravel a fairy-tale mystery through puzzles and exploration, accompanied by a haunting soundtrack.

What players say

Players highlight the clever premise of Cinderella as an idea rather than a person, and enjoy the crossover with Pinocchio. Reviews consistently praise the atmosphere and art, calling it relaxing and beautiful, though some find the fragmented object gameplay weaker. Long-time fans note the series appears to have stopped releasing after 2019.
