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 tense, slow-paced police interrogation simulator where you observe FMV interviews and guide a partner to solve a murder.

What players say

Players praise the acting and realistic interrogation feel, but nearly everyone says the game is short, around an hour per playthrough, with only three player decisions. Some find the evidence and documents pointless, while others appreciate the multiple endings and replayability. Players are split on whether the price justifies the length.
