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

Playing feels like a collaborative detective puzzle where you and a partner must share clues and spot contradictions to solve a lighthearted mystery together.

What players say

Players say it is a short co-op detective game that takes about two hours to solve a single case. The interrogation and clue comparing is fun, but many find the in-game search engine frustrating and the English translation awkward. Players split on the puzzles, some find them satisfying, others complain the clues are too obscure.
