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 Asterism as a playable music album rather than a traditional game, with each song presented as a unique, handcrafted art style and minigame. There is no fail state and the experience lasts about 1.5 hours. Some compare it to Kid A Mnesia Exhibition or Sayonara Wild Hearts.
