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

You run an AI-driven interrogation and judgment simulation on your own PC, requiring methodical investigation with deliberately minimal graphics to keep the AI responsive.

What players say

Players praise the AI-powered interrogations for making each suspect feel unique and alive, but many say the rules are confusing and the game launched in a rough, unfinished state. There are frequent reports of long waits for reports to generate and mixed sentiment on the clunky UI and translation issues.
