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
Exploring hand-built dream worlds at a deliberate pace, with a palpable sense of unease and quiet mystery.

What players say
Players praise the unique handcrafted clay art style and unsettling atmosphere, but split on pace: some find it slow and boring, others find the story and puzzles engaging enough to overlook the deliberate pace. Long chapters and a 24 fps cap are common complaints, and the lack of subtitles frustrates some.
