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 interactive story driven by many high-quality static renders and cinematic sequences, where you unravel a mystery through choices and extensive text.

What players say
Players are sharply divided. Some praise the story and narration, but most complain about poor stop-motion animations, blurry graphics, and machine-translated text. There are also reports of missing scenes and dialog-only stretches.
