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

Exploring a 1990s Beijing alley, you piece together clues from a murder case in a slow, tense, and atmospheric detective mystery.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and story but are split on the controls: many find the item interaction and camera finicky, while others say the mystery and interrogation mechanics make up for it. The game is nearly impossible to finish without a guide, and performance issues with older hardware are common.
