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 must solve murders by framing innocent guests, creating a tense and deceptive puzzle of blame.

What players say

Players praise the writing and characters, but many note the true ending is missing and the game feels incomplete. The questioning mechanic is clever but poorly explained. Fans of Ace Attorney and Umineko will find familiar ground.
