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
Guiding a pink square through a shifting, rotating labyrinth feels like a meditative yet disorienting journey of discovery and introspection.

What players say
Players describe Expand as a short, minimalist game that starts relaxing but gets more frantic and challenging. The Christopher Larkin soundtrack is widely praised, and the seamless no-loading-screen design impresses. Players recommend a controller over keyboard. Opinions are split on value, some find it a satisfying experience, others say it feels overpriced for its two-hour length.
