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 slow, monotonous walk through abstract and gory scenes, drenched in self-pity and mild psychological unease

What players say
Players describe this as an art piece rather than a traditional game, praising its raw and honest portrayal of depression and isolation. The surreal, dreamlike world and the character Ollie are frequently mentioned, along with a standout soundtrack. Some find its abstract nature frustrating, but most agree the emotional weight is worth pushing through.
