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 feel like a determined journalist piecing together clues through deliberate research and moral dilemmas in a tense 1930s newsroom setting.

What players say
Players compare it to Her Story for its keyword-based archive searching, but many say the system can be frustrating with random keywords needed. French voice acting and some translation problems divide opinion, while others praise the 1930s atmosphere and black-and-white visuals. The overall experience is considered short and intriguing, though some find the acting stiff.
