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, contemplative puzzle investigation set in a gothic, misty Transylvanian castle, blending clerical skepticism with creeping unease.

What players say

Players warn that the Steam version is an abridged port missing half the puzzles and cutscenes, with glitches and a game-breaking bug, while the full game is available on GOG. Long-time fans are split, with a few finding it acceptable despite the cuts.
