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

You guide a protagonist through a spooky, linear hidden-object adventure solving puzzles and investigating mysteries in a tense, story-driven horror setting.

What players say

Players praise the spooky atmosphere and beautiful art, but nearly all note the short three-hour runtime and lack of a bonus chapter. Some report bugs or freezes, and long-time fans of the genre wish there were achievements. Most agree it is only worth picking up on sale.
