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 surreal, dice-driven RPG where you navigate a cursed city through personal history and suffering, with every choice physically shaping your character.

What players say
Players praise the writing and the surreal art, with several comparing the mechanics to Citizen Sleeper. Most finish in two to three hours and call it short but good, while a few wish the ending felt more fleshed out after the final choice.
