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 short, atmospheric walking simulator that recreates unsettling found footage from a first-person perspective, grounded in real interviews.

What players say
Players praise the game's atmosphere and philosophical storytelling, comparing it to The Beginner's Guide or a Chilla's Art title. However, nearly everyone criticizes the fixed 30 FPS, lack of vsync, and forced 1080p resolution, with some refunding. The game is short, about an hour, and has no chase sequences or monsters.
