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 quiet deduction game where silence forces you to read others' movements and actions to uncover a hidden killer.

What players say

Players say Jack & Detectives offers a fast, simple social deduction game without the need for discussion, but it suffers from a lack of updates and technical errors that make it unplayable for some. The no-chat design leads to a final vote that often feels like a coin flip, and there is no way to report griefing.
