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 observe and influence a fragile artificial society, reacting to its unpredictable, emergent behavior in a quiet, contemplative space.

What players say
Players describe it as a very short, experimental AI piece rather than a full game. Sessions average five minutes, and many say it lacks content for its price. Some appreciate the concept, but others find the AI behaviors superficial and the mechanics confusing, with reviews split on whether it is a meaningful experience or a disappointing tech demo.
