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

Flying feels like a serene, natural extension of your body as you glide over a huge, living world, hunting only when hunger calls.

What players say

Players love the sensation of flying like a bird, but many find the controls unintuitive and physically exhausting, with a steep learning curve and no tutorial. The game is light on content, mostly flying and hunting rabbits, and reviews note it hasn't been updated in over a year.
