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 praise the new skip story feature, which jumps straight from one hidden object scene or mini-game to the next. Many note the game is casual, low on computer demands, and appeals to both old-school hidden-object fans and achievement hunters. The game is fully playable in Dutch and German.
