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 charming, low-stakes detective game where you solve a silly conspiracy as a down-on-his-luck duck, blending cozy investigation with gentle humor.

What players say

Players praise the charming art, voice acting, and funny dialogue but say the single case is very short, lasting about one to two hours, and the puzzles are on the easy side. A few mention the price feels steep for the length, though the quality is high.
