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 through a series of visual-novel courtroom dramas, flipping between investigation and cross-examination, with a mix of tense logic puzzles and lighthearted character banter.

What players say

Players compare this to the original trilogy and find it lacking, with many complaining about padded dialogue and cases that drag. The new protagonists and their special abilities are seen as less compelling, and the story is criticized for being disjointed and relying too much on fan service. A minority still find it enjoyable, but the consensus is it does not live up to the first three games.
