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 methodical, tense puzzle-strategy game where you plan grid-based hacker attacks against a dystopian corporate regime.

What players say
Players describe Payload as a minimalist puzzle game where you move across the faces of a cube switching tiles, with a dystopian story woven in. Many call it genuinely difficult and clever, but some find the lack of a restart button and being booted to the main menu after each level frustrating. A few critics say it looks and feels like a mobile port, not a PC game.
