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.

What players say

Players describe Outsider as a text-driven interactive novel told through messaging chat, with a story that hooks early and lingers after finishing. They praise the well-written characters and nuanced dialogue, though some note a slow start. The game takes about 10 to 13 hours and includes optional hard puzzles that do not affect the main story.
