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 slow, introspective walk through a fractured mind, where reality feels blurred and every interaction is tinged with quiet unease.

What players say

Players describe derealization as a short visual novel about a woman with derealization, told through memory fragments and multiple endings. Some praise the story and atmosphere, but others criticize the lack of gameplay and say the writing is poorly translated from Russian. The need to replay initial memories to see new endings can become tedious.
