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 slow, introspective first-person walk through memories and grief, using found audio and video to piece together a family's trauma.

What players say
Players describe it as a deeply personal autobiographical puzzle game framed as a therapy session, with real family photos and home movies woven into the story. The puzzles use light, shadow, and a magic wand, and many note they are challenging with no skip option, yet rewarding to solve.
