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 text-based cyberpunk rhythm game where you manage a decaying city under a ticking clock, with experimental mechanics and multiple branching outcomes.

What players say
Players praise the tension of making life-or-death choices while keeping a virtual heart beating to the rhythm. The game is short and stressful, with multiple endings and an accessible mode for those who want to focus on story. Some note translation issues and a bugged achievement.
