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 slow-burn, moral mystery where every decision carries weight and the tension of a cursed time-loop keeps you questioning everyone's motives.

What players say
Players praise the writing and time loop mechanics that recall Outer Wilds, with an interconnected world where choices affect events. The four endings split opinion: some love how choices matter, others hate the canon ending. The game is short, about 7 to 10 hours, and built from a Skyrim mod.
