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
You navigate the mundane pressures of academic life through a quirky RPG lens, managing stats to overcome a looming personal deadline.

What players say
Players praise the emotional story and non-violent twist on RPG mechanics, calling it a cathartic experience about grad school and personal growth. Many note many hidden secrets and permanent choices, though a minority find the opening puzzles unintuitive and the combat unforgiving.
