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 somber, often grueling puzzle-platformer where dismemberment and self-harm are tools for progress, wrapped in a melancholic story about recovery

What players say
Players praise the story's emotional weight and honest exploration of gender identity, but nearly all say the gameplay is clunky, slow, and frustrating. The self-harm mechanic is creative thematically and shocking visually, and the game is best played blind.
