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 quietly poignant visual novel that lets you sit with intimate family conversations across decades, tinged with regret and a subtle sci-fi undercurrent.

What players say
Players describe Throw Me in the River as a short, nonlinear visual novel about regret and family. The branching choices lead to multiple endings, and the monochrome art paired with a guitar soundtrack is widely praised.
