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 text-heavy choose-your-own-adventure where you step into the shoes of former sidekicks to save the world, driven entirely by your decisions and imagination without graphics or sound.

What players say

Players are split on Unsupervised. Many praise its well-written characters, branching choices, and flexible superpower system. However, a large and vocal group warns that the story cuts off on a cliffhanger with no resolution, a fact the marketing did not disclose. Reviews that recommend the game explicitly advise going in knowing it is only part one.
