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 quiet, story-led journey where you poke around a shadowy world at your own pace, more contemplative than tense.

What players say

Players agree the mystery and art land early, but most say the finale rushes to a weak conclusion and the back half lectures instead of resolving set-ups. Deduction is simple, walking is painfully slow until New Game Plus, and players still argue over the story's treatment of women.
