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, melancholy visual novel about depression and longing for change, told through text and pixel-art scenes.

What players say
Players praise the ASCII art and music, and note the game is very short, finishable in an hour. The story is simple and life-like, but the presentation creates an atmospheric feel. There is disagreement on story quality: a minority finds it bad.
