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 dialogue-heavy, retro-noir detective story that leans hard into melodrama and dark humour, where your choices navigate a broken investigator's personal and professional turmoil.

What players say
Players praise the narrative and choices that affect the outcome, but some find the melodrama nauseating and the dialogue too lengthy. It is a short game, around 2 to 4 hours, and there is criticism that development stalled and a promised German language version was never delivered.
