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

You navigate a medieval world entirely through binaural audio and touch, following your daughter's voice as your only guide.

What players say

Players praise the genuinely novel audio-only concept and applaud its accessibility for blind and visually impaired gamers, but many find the execution frustrating. Combat becomes repetitive, unclear objectives and frequent checkpoints cause irritation, and the AI narration voice is widely disliked.
