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
The game feels like a real-world investigation, blending online research and puzzle-solving into a tense, immersive conspiracy.

What players say
Players say The Black Watchmen is a unique ARG that makes you feel like a real agent by mixing in-game puzzles with real-world research. Many praise the Lovecraft-themed campaigns, but warn about broken external links and a requirement for Facebook or personal info that limits the experience.
