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 gently nudge a historical figure through memories by causing small, physical disruptions in a quiet, hand-painted world.

What players say
Players describe it as a brief, art-driven documentary about the 1953 Iranian coup, more an educational piece than a traditional game. The visual style, inspired by Persian miniature and Satie's music, is consistently praised, while the simple puzzle gameplay draws mixed reactions.
