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

Neon-lit 1980s police simulator where you drive and shoot through procedurally generated crime scenes while uncovering a personal noir mystery.

What players say

Players praise the isometric police patrol loop, 80s atmosphere, and satisfying driving, but many say the map is too small and gameplay gets repetitive quickly. Opinion is split on the story's length and depth, and the shooting and crime-charging mechanics frustrate some.
