The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 and atmospheric deduction game where piecing together contradictory evidence from a surreal murder scene feels like solving a puzzle in a dreamlike, unsettling world.

What players say

Players compare it to Danganronpa but say the simple puzzles and lack of branching make it more a visual novel than a detective game. Reviews praise the abundant character illustrations and a satisfying final act, yet many note the price feels high for an indie title of this length, and the auto-save can force replays of long scenes.
