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

A methodical, clue-by-clue detective game where you interrogate robots by asking the right questions in a noir-tinged, near-future setting.

What players say

Players praise the unique AI interrogation system that lets them question suspects freely, though they note the plot becomes predictable and the later chapters feel weaker. There is a split on horror: some report startling moments and a creepy atmosphere, while others say nothing jumps out at them.
