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 slow-paced, moody point-and-click detective game set in a gritty 19th-century alternate history city, with a focus on investigation and a haunting inner voice.

What players say
Players call it more of an interactive story than a classic adventure, with a focus on narrative rather than puzzles. The world building, voice acting, and setting are consistently praised, but players are split on the ending: some find the last third rushed and anticlimactic while others enjoy the multiple possibilities. A few reviews note dead ends and soft-locks if you don't follow every lead.
