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 investigate crimes across timelines, making choices that affect who lives or dies while solving puzzles and interrogating suspects in a tense, story-driven detective drama.

What players say

Players describe this as a visual novel with minimal interactivity, split into three short cases. Many find the dialogue flat and the puzzles frustrating. The art has its own charm but feels unpolished. Some players strongly object to its political themes.
