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.

What players say

Steam reviewers consistently say Aeonic is an AI-generated slideshow of historical events with minimal interactivity and poor writing. It is widely described as not a real game, with many noting it can be completed in under 15 minutes.
