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 slow-burn visual novel driven by dialogue and moral choices, where you navigate personal and professional relationships as a prosecutor.

What players say

Players are surprised to find a serious crime thriller rather than a simple adult game. They praise the plot twists, detective and courtroom focus, and deep character writing, while cautioning that the first three chapters are slow and adult content is sparse. The Chinese community notes a helpful guide included in the game folder.
