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
Investigating a foggy Victorian London as a morally conflicted detective, the game feels like a darkly witty, surreal point-and-click adventure steeped in atmosphere and puzzling mystery.

What players say
Players praise the writing, atmosphere, and soundtrack but warn the game is short, puzzles are too easy, and development on later chapters has stalled since 2016.
