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 slow, thoughtful detective simulation where you meticulously gather clues and weigh ethical choices in atmospheric Victorian London.

What players say
Players praise the deduction system and freedom to accuse based on evidence, but are split on hand-holding: some feel it guides too much. Crashes are common, though autosaves soften the blow, and some find the game unplayable on Steam Deck.
