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

flapping motion-controlled wings in dreamlike abstract skies, blending clumsy struggle with eventual effortless gliding.

What players say

Players are split on DreamFly. Some love the flight sensation once the controls click, while many others find the lack of a tutorial and sensitive wing controls frustrating and nausea-inducing. The game is often described as more of a tech demo than a full game, with no goals beyond flying.
