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

A meditative motion-controlled journey of guiding birds through quiet, ambient vignettes of human life.

About

Art, folklore and possibly history. Use hand gestures and whole body movements seen by the PlayStation Eye to direct your flock of birds from location to location within the panning scroll, left, right, up or down. Every location worthwhile of the flock's touch down has its own ambiance you need to allow to let sink in. Some detailed exploration is in order as you steer your flock. Your flock shall observe human family life, struggle, war, and other worldly happenings in the Japanese interpretation. Relaxation and wonder are key words here.
