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
You drift through empty, beautifully rendered halls of a derelict starship, piecing together clues at your own pace in quiet, contemplative solitude.

What players say
Players describe The Artifact as a very short point-and-click puzzle game similar to The Room, taking 30 minutes to an hour to finish. The puzzles are easy, but some note a lack of basic features like a quit button or settings menu, and occasional crashes can softlock progress. Most agree the price only makes sense at a deep discount.
