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 smooth, atmospheric live-action murder mystery where you feel like a detective piecing together clues through relaxed interviews and exploration.

What players say

Players enjoy the campy FMV acting and the contradiction-based interrogation mechanic. Many say the mystery gets weird near the end, and some find the final resolution unsatisfying.
