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 bleak, solitary grind through the endless night of academic research, where the weight of a single paper presses down on your sleepless mind.

What players say
Players portray this as a brutally honest simulation of academic research, capturing the tedium of finding subjects and analyzing data. The short one-hour playthrough is praised for its realistic depiction, but criticized for repetitive loops and a game-breaking bug that can erase progress.
