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 lighthearted detective game where you explore spooky pixelated scenes, solve puzzles, and chuckle at the dark humor without any real tension.

What players say
Players say the cases are longer and tougher than the first game, sometimes crossing into moon logic. The humor and writing keep them coming back, and the chemistry between the two detectives is a highlight, though the Chinese translation is widely criticized for being incoherent.
