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.

About

Life Is Strange is a third-person graphic adventure where players control a character with the ability to rewind time. Set in the fictional town of Arcadia Bay, the game centers on dialogue-driven storytelling and environmental puzzle solving, with players' choices creating both immediate and long-term consequences. Players retain collected items through time reversals, allowing them to use knowledge from previous attempts to influence future outcomes while exploring the town and interacting with its inhabitants.
