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.

What players say

Players call this a charming but brief murder mystery, finishing in about an hour or two. The detective gameplay is straightforward, with no red herrings and little depth, though the treasure hunt and multiple endings add replay value. Some note unpolished mechanics and a predictable culprit.
