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 tense, moody crime drama where tough decisions and their consequences drive a narrative noir experience.

What players say
Players say The Detail is an unfinished episodic crime noir that ends on a cliffhanger with no more episodes coming. The story starts interesting but gets worse, with a dull first two chapters and a rushed buggy third. The game is a mix of point-and-click and visual novel without voice acting, and some choices feel meaningless.
