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 relentlessly grim and darkly comedic post-apocalyptic RPG that forces you to make cruel, permanent sacrifices while pushing a pixelated 2D world of moral desolation.

What players say
Players praise the story and its ludo-narrative design, but are split on the gameplay, with some finding it tedious and the tonal shifts jarring. The game forces tough, permanent decisions and is unforgiving, yet its dark humor and soundtrack keep many coming back.
