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 reflective journey through fragmented memories as you piece together a life story while lying helpless on the ground.

What players say
Players are divided: some see a thoughtful memory exercise, but most call it a slideshow with no meaningful gameplay. Nearly all agree it is more like clicking through a photo album than playing a game, with vague pictures that do not tell a clear story.
