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 methodical, low-intensity hidden-object investigation where you click through scenes and follow a linear mystery narrative.

What players say

Players say it is a playable hidden object game but very short, around an hour, with no bonus chapter and easy puzzles. They praise the protagonist, an older woman who uses a podcast and modern tech, as a refreshing departure from stereotypes.
