The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 first-person detective experience where you type to interrogate suspects and sift through case files in a small, unsettling town.

What players say

Players are split on this FMV detective game. Many praise the story and atmosphere, but the keyword search system is widely criticized as broken, requiring exact guesses the developer had in mind. The acting is also a major point of contention, with nearly every reviewer singling out one actress for poorly reading her lines.
