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 slow, emotionally heavy narrative that navigates bleak personal struggles with a glimmer of soft warmth and resolution.

What players say
Players describe this as a very short free visual novel with two separate stories, one about a male Alex and one about a female Alex, that serve as a prologue to an upcoming sequel. Opinions are split on which story is stronger, though many find both touching and relatable, with realistic handling of heavy subjects like depression and bullying.
