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 bureaucratic dystopia where you navigate oppressive systems with darkly humorous trading and combat.

What players say
Players call it an unfinished but charming experiment that mixes basic trading with first-person shooting. The FPS part is clunky with few guns, and critics say it only appeals to nostalgia for late 2000s indie games.
