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 gentle, wind-swept journey through floating islands, blending light puzzle platforming with the calm rhythm of exploration and delivery.

What players say
Players describe Passing By as a cozy, slow-paced adventure combining hot air balloon exploration with light survival and puzzle platforming. Many compare its gentle vibe to Spiritfarer, though some find the hunger and thirst mechanics a bit too frequent. A common request is for a map to help navigate the floating islands.
