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 first-person shooter where you dodge enemy patterns and explore fractal worlds that pulse and shift in sync with the music, with options to just fly around and listen.

What players say
Players see The Polynomial as a visualizer with a game attached, not a traditional shooter. The music-reactive fractal visuals are widely praised, but the controls feel clunky and the objectives are unclear, making it confusing to play. Many say it is best enjoyed in an altered state of mind.
