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.

What players say

Players describe Swann's Song as a brief, introspective conversation between a young boy and an old man at a pond, touching on life, death and regret. The game asks you to write your own thoughts, and reviewers say the experience varies heavily with age. It is about an hour long with no voice acting.
