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 focused, methodical detective game where you sit at a single screen, sorting through evidence and documents to slowly unravel a human drama.

What players say
Players call this a short deduction puzzle with strong music and an emotional story about two musicians. It borrows from Return of the Obra Dinn's check-in-fives mechanic. Many note the lack of subtitles and uneven sound mixing as real drawbacks, especially for an audio-heavy game.
