The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 quiet, solitary space-lighthouse simulator where downtime is punctuated by clever puzzles and wry dialogue, all underpinned by a gentle sadness.

What players say

Players are split on Still There. Many praise its emotional, sad story and atmospheric sci-fi setting, but the puzzles divide them: they are manual-heavy and logical, which some find clever and others compare to assembling Ikea furniture, making the game feel like work.
