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 deliberate and cerebral detective experience that feels like piecing together clues in a foggy Victorian London, with a heavy emphasis on reading and deduction over action.

What players say
Players praise the cheesy 90s FMV charm and theatrical acting, but warn the mystery relies on a leap of logic and the game is very short. Split on its value: some enjoy the deduction, others find the interface obtuse and the fixed 4:3 resolution dated.
