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 deliberately janky, surreal, and self-consciously quirky RPG that blends psychedelic horror with offbeat humor and a disorienting 90s nostalgia.

What players say
Players are split on YIIK. Many praise the large 1.5 and I.V updates that revamped the combat to a strategic card system and added more music, but the protagonist Alex is widely called unlikeable. The story is described as intentionally difficult and postmodern, with some finding it intriguing and others pretentious.
