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.

How it feels

A lonely, slow-paced journey through fractured memories, with an ambient soundtrack and environmental puzzles that feel like wandering through a quiet, personal dream.

What players say

Players are split on Fool's Paradise. Some praise its atmosphere and puzzles, but most find the gameplay painful with bad camera, motion controls, and no direction. The story has an interesting concept but is buried under poor execution.
