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 reflective, text-driven experience that immerses you in a politically charged atmosphere where every choice feels weighty and the narrative slowly unfolds.

What players say
Players are split on Norman's Great Illusion. Many praise its political message and call it more art than game, but others are driven away by the mandatory math mini-game that only accepts arrow-key input with no mouse support. Some find the difficulty intentional, others call it unplayable.
