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.

A tense, introspective psychological investigation where reality blurs with the character's fractured mind.

What players say

Players praise its intriguing, twist-filled story and compare it to Telltale games, though they note choices don't affect the outcome. The pacing is slow and character animations are widely criticized as awkward, but the detective narrative keeps players hooked.
