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 dense, weirdly alive world where every wall and creature has hidden rules, making exploration feel like archaeology and improvisation.

What players say
Players praise the depth and worldbuilding but warn of a steep learning curve and a time-consuming nature. Many recommend starting with roleplay mode to avoid permadeath frustration. Some report corrupted save files, and there is disagreement over whether the complexity is rewarding or exhausting.
