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 piece together clues under the pressure of being accused yourself, with branching paths that reward careful deduction.

What players say

Players say the mystery is short and simple, with a fully voice-acted cast and multiple endings. Many are put off by the amateurish art, clashing visual styles, and typos, while a few find it charming. A couple of reviewers point out the game is free elsewhere.
