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 short, top-down adventure with simple controls and nonlinear exploration, evoking the feel of classic 16-bit games.

What players say
Players agree the game is a very short Zelda-like, lasting 20 to 45 minutes with only one dungeon and an abrupt ending. Many note promising ideas like a large inventory and gold that go unused, leaving the game feeling like a teaser rather than a full experience.
