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
Piloting a steam locomotive through eerie space, weighed by bureaucracy and dread, with moments of dry humour and quiet melancholy.

What players say
Players praise the unique setting and writing but warn of tedious resource management and a slow pace. Combat is clunky, and controller support has bugs.
