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 short, somber first-person experience that uses simple puzzles to simulate the fear, confusion, and disorientation of living with Alzheimer's disease.

What players say
Players praise this free, 10-minute interactive art piece for teaching empathy around Alzheimer's and dementia through three levels covering paranoia, disorientation, and safety. Some report crashes on the disorientation level and a missable hidden achievement.
