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 self-aware, conversation-driven journey where a rebellious protagonist chats with you while you bend the game's rules to help him break free.

What players say
Players see it as a fun short prologue for Break the Game with some meta humor, but several note the story is incomplete and ask when the next part arrives.
