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 bleak, text-heavy interactive fiction where player choices determine the fate of a doomed desert town under a vengeful sun.

What players say
Players praise the writing and atmosphere of this short RPG Maker horror game about two husbands living through a climate apocalypse. They call it bleak but hopeful, with many noting the game handles eco-fascism and queer love well. Some wish there were more meaningful endings, but most accept that fits the hopelessness.
