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 slow, meticulous simulation where you methodically examine evidence and piece together facts to solve a crime.

What players say

Players say the game is accurate for forensic science but feels like a short demo or tech demo with only a few cases after lengthy tutorials. Reviewers agree there is no investigative deduction, no story connecting cases, and the UI is confusing. Opinions split on whether the price is fair: many call it overpriced for the content while some praise the unique concept.
