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 quiet, contemplative journey through ancient ruins with tight controls and a soothing, minimal art style.

What players say
A free student project from DigiPen, Phi is a short atmospheric adventure where players guide a serpentine creature through 2D levels. Players consistently note the original but intentionally awkward controls, where turning is relative to the creature's heading rather than fixed directions, and the game is completed in under an hour.
