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 tense, story-driven investigation where distrust and dread build as friends trapped in a mountain resort uncover a murder, leaning into psychological horror and despair.

What players say
Players are split on the writing and art, but agree this is a short, fair whodunit where you can solve the mystery yourself. Several note the cast are 14-15 year olds and the beginning drags, while others praise the satisfying twists and multiple wrong-suspect paths.
