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.

How it feels

You cautiously navigate a real-world alley way, feeling the tension as time shifts with your movement and the plague looms unpredictably.

About

An fmv experiment. Walk down an alley which is a real video recorded in the north east of England avoiding the plague. Time moves when you walk forward but freezes when you move sideways. Anticipate the movement of the plague to avoid infection.
