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
An intimate, reflective journey through a family’s past, blending tangible hand-crafted sets with archival realism to evoke a poignant sense of displacement and rediscovery.

What players say
Players describe an intimate, emotional VR documentary about the Japanese-Canadian internment during WWII. Many say it is heartbreaking and beautiful, though some note it requires enough room space and one criticizes the lack of a save system.
