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 faithful remake of a classic detective puzzle/visual-novel, slow and methodical in its mystery-solving.

About

Famicom Mini: Famicom Tantei Club - Kieta Koukeisha is a Game Boy Advance video game released in 2004 by Nintendo. It is a remake of the Famicom title Famicom Tantei Club, and little to no alterations were made on the game to stay faithful to the original title. The game was not released in America or Europe, and thus was exclusive to Japan. It was part of the Famicom Mini Series that re-released a variety of classic Famicom games for the Game Boy Advance, similar to how they re-released classic NES games in North America. This port has both parts (Zenpen and Kouhen) of Kieta Koukeisha, thus the player wouldn't need to change disks like in the original Famicom Disk System release.
