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 reflective and emotional slice-of-life sim where you gently nudge grieving townspeople toward healing.

What players say
Players say this life sim uses the mechanics of The Sims to tell a heartfelt story about grief, managing multiple characters who each have different needs. The game is deliberately messy and can feel overwhelming, but players find that matches the theme of loss.
