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 somber, story-driven experience where unsettling religious themes and family tragedy unfold through still illustrations and a sparse soundtrack.

What players say
Players agree this is a short kinetic novel with no branching choices, completed in about 30 minutes. The art and music get praise, but some find the ending too abrupt and the photo-based backgrounds clash with the drawn art.
