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.

About

In Elusive People, players must find a way to survive in a world not designed for them. As the miniature ‘elusive people’, they’ll learn to grow food in a watering can, using spoons for spades and forks for ploughs. Take perilous trips to the rest of the house in search of resources, making friends (and a few colossal enemies) along the way. Elusive People combines farming, stealth and exploration to make an outsized adventure like no other.
