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.

How it feels

You gaze into the eyes of crows to move through a painterly, silent afterlife train, uncovering fragments of your companions' pasts in a meditative journey of redemption.

What players say

Players are split on this VR experience. Some find it a touching, emotional short story, while others feel it is a barely interactive short film with no real gameplay, very short at around 20 minutes, and overpriced for what it offers.
