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-burn historical mystery where you untangle social tensions and hidden secrets in a small, suspicious Bavarian village

What players say
Players praise the Bavarian atmosphere, humor, and story, but split on technical stability. Many report bugs, crashes, and a frustrating drunk minigame, while others enjoy the charm and skill-check system.
