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, contemplative text-based journey that uses fictional anecdotes to explore philosophical and mysterious lessons about life's random turning points.

What players say
Players say this is a very short visual novel made with Ren'Py that costs $2000, a price almost everyone considers a marketing stunt. Many call the writing juvenile and point out an unskippable prologue with right-wing themes about population and estrogen. A few joking reviews call it worthwhile for bragging rights, but the overwhelming sentiment is that it is not worth buying.
