The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

You drift serenely through dreamy watercolor waters in a sailboat that needs no steering, just looking around while a synthesizer soundtrack blends with ocean sounds.

What players say

Players call Becalm a meditative screensaver rather than a game, with no interaction beyond looking around and switching locations. Some find it calming, while others call it boring, and a few compare it to LSD Dream Emulator.
