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 curated anthology of poignant, short narrative experiences that blend offbeat humor with emotional depth, inviting you to inhabit the lives of diverse characters in innovative, low-stakes stories.

What players say
Players call this an anthology of ten short narrative games that explore heavy emotional topics, often tied to real human stories. The controls are clunky and settings barely work, with a persistent windowed mode that breaks on leaving a game, but many find the documentaries about each game's development more valuable than the games themselves.
