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 deliberate, story-focused hidden-object adventure with a mysterious atmosphere and light puzzle-solving tension.

What players say

Players praise the dual protagonists and dual timelines, a welcome modern setting for the hidden-object genre. The game is mostly easy and relaxing, though some puzzles are confusing or unbalanced. A few note it lacks the romance promised by the series and that the story feels messy.
