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 moody, visually striking point-and-click adventure with a darkly comic tone and a relaxed, puzzly pace.

What players say
Players praise the Afro-Caribbean aesthetic and soundtrack, calling it visually unique with a noir atmosphere. The first chapter is short and serves mostly as setup for the larger story, with characters that are instantly likeable and puzzles that are not too hard.
