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 sift through a clunky police database, piecing together fragmented interview clips that feel both intimate and unsettling.

What players say
Players describe a short, unique detective game where you search transcripts of FMV clips to piece together a non-linear story. They consistently praise the acting but some find the plot silly or the search process tedious. The game is influential but brief, often finished in a single session.
