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 bleak, stressful point-and-click survival sim about scraping by under crushing economic pressure.

What players say
Players praise the game's brutal social commentary on poverty and one small slip-up ruining everything, but are split on the clunky interface and repetitive text. Some find the punishment intentional and powerful, while others are frustrated by pixel hunting and the inability to skip already-seen scenes.
