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 courtroom drama where exploring crime scenes piece by piece feeds into tense, logic-based debates.

What players say

Players call this a solid Ace Attorney homage with rough graphics and animation that you need to look past. The story ties all cases together and builds to an emotional ending, though some find logic leaps frustrating and note the text scroll and screen shake are annoying.
