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 deliberately paced, pixelated detective quest through a rain-slicked cyberpunk Singapore where every clue must be pieced together with careful attention and real-world research.

What players say
Players praise the cybernoir pixel art and the novel mechanic of solving puzzles by doing real-world research, but many are frustrated by bugs, a restrictive save system, and tedious travel between locations. Reviews split: some love the detective legwork, others find it tedious and the puzzles either too easy or too obscure.
