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.

About

Something has happened in the city and you are the main suspect. You defend your innocence, but the investigators don't believe you and insist on giving you the dreaded polygraph test. Your objective is clear: Don't get caught lying! If you answer any question wrongly the polygraph will detect it and you will be locked up forever in prison.
