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 play as a detective carefully examining crime scenes and interrogating suspects in a dark, immersive period setting.

What players say

Players enjoy the core detective work and hand-to-hand combat in VR, but many are frustrated by the high price for a version that cuts most cases from the original. Performance and Rockstar launcher problems keep some from playing at all.
