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, punishing boss-rush where each death teaches a new skill, set to an old-school SNES soundtrack and framed as a self-help journey

What players say
Players describe it as more of an interactive motivational speech than a traditional RPG, lasting under an hour. The combat is described as a puzzle rather than a deep turn-based system, and many find the positive message too blunt.
