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 explore old estates and cemeteries, interrogate suspects, and solve 3D puzzles at a deliberate, story-driven pace.

What players say

Players widely agree the new controls are a serious downgrade, making movement and exploring a chore. The game also has fewer puzzles than earlier entries, leaning more on clicking through a linear storyline.
