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 guided, low-intensity point-and-click mystery where you solve hidden-object puzzles to unravel a cursed horror movie premise.

What players say

Players praise the story and the way it splits into three movie-themed chapters with a bonus chapter. The game is more puzzle-heavy than hidden-object focused, with a fast-travel map that helps with the backtracking. Some note the visual style feels too bright for a horror game, and a few encountered bugs that blocked progress.
