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 calm and methodical puzzle-solving game where you carefully examine data and clues at your own pace.

What players say
Players praise the blend of SQL writing and detective deduction, calling the humor and voice acting a highlight. Many note a sharp difficulty spike around chapters 6 to 8, with some saying late puzzles feel frustrating rather than clever. A few critics mention the SQL becomes a background element after the early cases, and one dislikes the lack of autocomplete.
