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 dreamlike, introspective experience where you guide a woman through alternate pasts shaped by melancholy and surreal decisions.

What players say
Players praise the art and time-travel story, but many find the in-game songs lackluster and the lyrics weak. Reviews also note the game is short and lacks a way to skip already-read text.
