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 meditative, illustrated documentary that invites you to experience the slow, sensory awakening of a whale calf through lush watercolor visuals and a rich soundscape.

What players say
Players describe it as a hand-drawn speculative biology documentary, comparable to a David Attenborough film set on an alien world. The art and writing are widely praised, though some note it ends abruptly and part two has not been announced years after release.
