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

A lonely, slow-paced walk through barren alien landscapes that invites quiet reflection on life and regret.

What players say

Players describe Corpse of Discovery as a short, philosophical walking simulator with parkour, but opinions split sharply. Some find its metaphor about work and family life deep and moving, while others call the story incoherent and the gameplay repetitive and dull. Many note technical problems like poor optimization, pop-in, and memory leaks.
