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 strange, dreamlike interactive fiction that feels like navigating a surreal and absurd consciousness, blending dark humor with romance and puzzles.

What players say
Players are split on this short, abstract visual novel rooted in Plato's cave allegory. Many praise its surreal atmosphere and multiple endings, but criticize the lack of a save system, a playtime that feels padded, and writing that some find too obscure or poorly translated, despite intriguing philosophical ambitions.
