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 cerebral, clue-gathering detective game with a supernatural noir twist, where you sift through documents to spot contradictions.

What players say

Players love the fourth case as a standout, but the romance feels forced and the final case is a letdown. The setting-based mystery is clever, though the game is text-heavy and the translation has issues.
