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

A compact, story-driven multiplayer mystery where players investigate and vote through repeated loops, with the tension of hidden motives and irreversible conclusions.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the simple visuals and hassle-free GM-less murder mystery, but most criticize the weak story, unsatisfying endings, and shallow gameplay where the five-minute loops and room exploration offer no new information after the first round. Many say it does not justify being a digital game, comparing it unfavorably to free or cheaper alternatives.
