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 play as a clever sleuth exploring atmospheric Venice, gathering clues and solving puzzles at a relaxed pace with a touch of light suspense.

What players say

Players enjoy the Venice setting and the mission-based structure, but are split on the reliance on the Scopa card game and the final puzzle difficulty. Some find the minigames tedious, and many wish there were more conversations with suspects.
