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
You click through clunky 90s computer interfaces, piecing together clues from emails and chat logs at a deliberate, thoughtful pace.

What players say
Players compare Gumshoe Detective Agency to The Roottrees are Dead and Nancy Drew, but say it comes up short. The mystery is fun and the 1990s internet atmosphere is a hit, yet the game is widely seen as overpriced for its 1-2 hour length. Complaints center on a clunky browser with no back button or search history, a non-functional in-game notes app, and frequent glitches that require restarts.
