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 reflective, empathetic journey through abstract landscapes, focusing on the quiet bond between a stone creature and its plant companion as they seek a new home.

What players say
Players describe a very short (around 15 minutes) perspective-based puzzle game with handcrafted charm and an atmospheric soundtrack. One review notes it is a student project, and opinions are split on whether that limited scope is a flaw or simply a short experience worth playing.
