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 slow-burn, text-driven detective story with a film noir soundtrack, where you piece together clues in moody diorama scenes while managing a character's deteriorating health.

What players say
Players finish it in about 15 minutes, and many love the handcrafted diorama look and noir atmosphere. Some find the story too confusing to follow.
