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 slow, deliberate, and atmospheric point-and-click mystery with full-motion video, where you investigate a werewolf case through dialogue and puzzle-solving as both a brooding detective and his assistant.

What players say
Players praise the writing, acting, and atmosphere, but are split on the graphics: some find them too dated to enjoy, while others say the FMV holds up. The puzzles are called obtuse in spots, and the tape recorder mechanic is misleading. Von Glower is a fan favorite.
