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 somber and introspective puzzle game about navigating mental illness through stealth mechanics and emotional storytelling.

What players say
Players praise the story's handling of depression and alcoholism, but opinions split on the writing, with some finding it too direct. The game is short and free, but many note broken achievements and the lack of any audio.
