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 washed-up sheriff solving bizarre cases in a small desert town, combining light-hearted humor with methodical crime-scene investigation and dialogue-based persuasion.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to Ace Attorney, with some calling it a loving homage and others a low-effort copy. The comedy and pun-heavy writing get praise, but the lack of updates and occasional glitches draw critiques.
