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, deliberate word-puzzle adventure through a dark steamgothic world where every journey is procedurally unique and death is permanent.

What players say
Players praise the blend of word puzzles with roguelike RPG progression and a steampunk setting, but warn the learning curve is steep and some minigames feel confusing. Sentiment splits on complexity: some enjoy the challenge, others find it bloated with too many unexplained mechanics. A few players criticize the developer for ignoring feedback on poorly-received minigames.
