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, dreamlike navigation through a girl's fragmented digital existence that feels more like a meditation than a game.

About
An adventure game where you follow the cybernetic journeys of a girl named Lain.
What players say
A slow, cerebral and deeply unsettling interactive experience built from FMV diary fragments exploring mental illness, isolation and the network with raw, lingering dread. Barely a game in the traditional sense, it haunts players and has grown into a cult curiosity.
