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.

What players say

Players widely consider this the peak of the Ace Attorney series, praising its story, music, and characters like Herlock Sholmes. The game has a slow start and the first entry mostly sets up the second, but the payoff in the final act is highly rewarding. Some find the new jury and deduction mechanics weaker than earlier games' systems, and a few players feel the pacing drags.
