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, atmospheric experience where a mechanical consciousness searches for connection in a desolate world.

What players say
Players describe it as a set of three visual novels, each about 20 minutes long, sharing a theme of robotic love and loneliness. Some note the first two stories have awkward point-of-view shifts near the end, and choices in the first story barely affect the outcome. Language support lacks Russian and Japanese.
