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, atmospheric journey through a surreal and merciless world, driven by a character-focused narrative and a sense of looming dread.

What players say
Players praise the bleak, well-written story and unique world-building, often comparing it to Fear & Hunger. Combat is challenging and avoids random encounters, but some find it repetitive. The game is short, around 10 hours, with an abrupt ending. A minority criticize pacing and excessive dialogue.
