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 slow, atmospheric point-and-click mystery set in an isolated snowy hotel, where you piece together clues through detailed pre-rendered scenes and moral ambiguity.

What players say
Players praise the hand-drawn art and atmosphere but are sharply divided on the rest. The English voice acting gets universal scorn, the ending is called abrupt and nonsensical, and many reviewers report game-breaking bugs in the second half. Some find it a charming old-school adventure, others consider it a disjointed mess that wastes a great premise.
