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

A gloomy, text-driven detective mystery where you guide a broken war veteran through a noir-tinged investigation and his own guilt.

What players say

Players praise the film-noir atmosphere and art, but warn the game is essentially a one-hour chapter that feels like a demo. Combat is repeatedly called frustrating and poorly balanced. Multiple reviewers note the developer missed promised chapter release dates and went silent, making the game's future uncertain.
