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 melancholy, slow-paced first-person exploration through beautiful, nostalgic environments as you piece together a childhood trauma.

What players say
Players praise the emotional story and voice acting, calling it a touching walking sim with a non-happy ending. But some criticize the pointless hunger meter and unintuitive controls, and a few find the story predictable and the gameplay too minimal.
