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 gentle, contemplative interaction with digital gravestones where typing names reveals personal stories against a backdrop of music.

What players say

Players describe BETWEEN as a short, atmospheric interactive art piece rather than a traditional game, often finished in five to fifteen minutes. It asks you to type names on tombstones in a quiet graveyard, and reviewers appreciate the calm sound design and the ending's gentle twist on the theme of loss. A few criticize the lack of gameplay and instructions, or call the writing amateurish.
