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 choice-driven detective adventure with pixel art, where players navigate crime and mystery in a story-rich simulation.

What players say
Players praise the depth of character interactions and the addicting loop of learning the prison's systems, with choices that genuinely matter across multiple playthroughs. However, many note the game becomes repetitive after the first playthrough, and the writing often feels weak, especially in the later story segments.
