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 puzzle-driven detective story with a cold-case time-travel gimmick, moderate tension, and a family drama focus.

What players say

Players enjoy the game but note it is very short, around 3 hours, with a confusing story that is hard to follow without previous entries. The puzzles rely heavily on fitting objects into holes near the end, and while minigames are fun, the writing and dialogue feel forced.
