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

You walk a quiet, emotional journey through beautiful nature as an outcast fawn, guided by an immersive soundtrack and subtle storytelling without words.

What players say

Players are deeply split on Deer Journey. Some find it an emotional, serene experience about a deer's life, while others call it a short, janky walking simulator with ugly graphics, no guidance, and pointless mechanics. Many note it is clearly inspired by The First Tree but feels less substantial.
