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
You play as an otter navigating a dangerous 2D world, driven by knowledge and scarce resources rather than building a static home.

What players say
Players find the otter and world charming and the music relaxing, but split on the combat: some say the keyboard controls are frustrating and the game has too much fighting for a relaxing title.
