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 claustrophobic dark comedy where everyday tasks become surreal and deadly in a crumbling house.

What players say
Players call it a short, frustrating adventure that uses dark humor and an insulting narrator to explore depression and agoraphobia. Reviews are split on whether the game is a meaningful portrayal or an amateurish attempt at therapy, but most agree its oppressive atmosphere and multiple endings make for a memorable experience.
