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 short, black-and-white narrative game that feels like a thoughtful, low-energy exploration about mobile phone overuse.

What players say
Players describe it as a very short interactive story, not a game, with a straightforward message about smartphone addiction that many find unoriginal. There is split opinion: some appreciate the clear commentary and art, while others call it boring and hypocritical for using a computer to criticize phones.
