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 methodically piece together clues and interrogate suspects in a slow-burn, text-driven mystery set across icy Hokkaido landscapes.

What players say

Players praise the faithful remake of a classic 1987 detective game, especially the new 2024 timeline that resolves old mysteries. But many warn against expecting logic puzzles: the game offers no real deduction, relying instead on brute-force command guessing. Opinions split on whether the dated design is charming or frustrating, and several note the heavy nostalgia filter needed to enjoy it.
