The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

You observe a noir mystery from a stationary wheelchair, piecing together clues through binoculars and conversation in a politically charged Barcelona.

What players say

Players praise its story about anti-fascism in post-Franco Spain but split on the execution. Some find the detective work too linear and the animations stiff, while others say the themes carry the game. It is short, around three hours.
