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 feel like a detective in a dark, gothic town, reading text and piecing together clues from witness testimony to solve a murder mystery.

What players say

Players consistently say the game is extremely short, often finished in under an hour, and the mystery is too obvious and linear. The artwork is praised as beautiful, but the writing is criticized for frequent spelling and grammar errors. There is broad agreement that the price feels too high for the amount of content provided.
