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 quiet, melancholic drive through empty cities where the only company is nature and the slow trudge of hope.

What players say
Players praise the writing and protagonist Ara as relatable and likable, with a surprisingly upbeat tone given the subject matter. The game is short, has no combat, and leaves many questions unanswered, which some find frustrating. A few reviewers note the developer stopped making games.
