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.

What players say

Players are split on Life of Fly. Many find it relaxing and unique, praising the premise of flying as a fly while listening to narrated stories. Others dislike the slow, ring-collecting gameplay and say the stories are uninteresting. The game is short, about an hour long, and consists of 12 levels.
