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 melancholic, mystery-laced visual novel steeped in detective lore and bittersweet truths.

A detective of the past left these words. -That detective wanted to bear the truth in order for people to not be saddened by the lies.- In the past, the achievements of a certain detective changed Harajuku into the "Detective District". So for detectives Harajuku became a place to aspire towards. Many detectives in training come to visit, and many retired detectives live there. In that "Detective District", there is also an academy.
