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
Players solve pixel puzzles to gather clues and interrogate witnesses, guided by a colorful comic-book style and a lighthearted mystery tone in 1990s Los Angeles.

What players say
Players enjoy the blend of picross puzzles and visual novel storytelling, but many find the game drags on with too many puzzles between story beats, especially after the fourth case. The story and dialogue charm like a 2000s cartoon, yet the game is only available in English and forces an unskippable tutorial.
