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 casual hidden-object adventure where you investigate paranormal artifacts by exploring locations and solving puzzles at a measured pace.

What players say
Players are split on this hidden object game. Some enjoy the episodic cases and challenging, varied minigames, while many others criticize the art for blending objects together, objects being poorly labeled, and overly precise click areas. The consensus is it feels dated, originally released in 2009, with a serviceable story that is not a standout.
