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.

A leisurely, detective-like stroll through Rome as you piece together clues in a low-stakes mystery.

What players say

Players say this sequel feels like a reskin of the first game with a repetitive story and too much backtracking, but they enjoy the hidden object scenes, gem alchemy, and the ability to name a helpful ermine. The minigames are challenging, though some lock-piece-in-place puzzles are overly pixel-precise.
