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 click through a somber, illustrated period drama as the story unfolds without player choices, with a melancholy, slow-paced recitation of the events leading to a murder.

What players say
Players praise the writing, art, and voice acting for creating a melancholic, hypnotic atmosphere, but note it is very short at around one hour and has no player choices. Some find the pacing slow, the music ill-fitting at times, and a few bugs are mentioned.
