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 blend of moody cyberpunk noir and quirky detective comedy with a first-person point-and-click feel, paced by FMV scenes and a befuddling mystery.

What players say
Players say the campy low-budget acting and film-noir sci-fi vibe carry the game, but the gameplay drags with pixel-hunting and convoluted puzzles. Several call out a built-in hint system as a crutch, while a few complain about unskippable sound effects and no key rebinding.
