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 methodically search a futuristic crime scene, piecing together hidden evidence to solve a murder that blurs the line between human and AI.

What players say

Players describe this as a very short detective game, taking one to two and a half hours, where finding evidence is a matter of clicking obvious spots and deductions are just putting pictures in order. The movement is slow, there are still translation quirks, and many suggest waiting for a sale.
