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.

What players say

Players call it a mixed hidden object game with a good Agatha Christie-style murder mystery story. They warn about dated 3D graphics, robotic voice acting, and too much backtracking without a useful map. Some enjoy the relaxing pace and plot twists, while others find the hidden object scenes frustrating due to pixel hunting and hard-to-see items.
