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-paced, cerebral detective game focused on examining evidence and video interrogations to solve realistic crimes.

What players say

Players praise the clever, well-acted investigations and the genuine feel of detective work, but many note the frustrating reliance on online-hosted media videos that can break the game entirely with a bad connection, and some find the evidence selection arbitrary without hints.
