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 tense, gritty detective drama with heavy combat and cinematic storytelling set in a crime-ridden Tokyo.

What players say

Players praise the story as one of RGG's best, with twists that keep them hooked after a slow start. The detective mechanics like tailing and lockpicking are widely disliked, and combat feels sluggish until upgrades. It works as a standalone entry for newcomers to the series.
