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 a short, emotional puzzle-platformer that uses its surreal world and the relationship between a boy and a monster as a metaphor for growing up with an alcoholic parent. Some find the monster sections frustrating, and several note it feels like a rough draft compared to ICO or Shadow of the Colossus.
