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 methodical simulation of the solitary grind and small victories of indie game development, balancing professional ambition with personal needs.

What players say
Players are split on this game. Some enjoy the idea of making and playtesting small games inside the game, but many criticize the short length of about 3-4 hours, bugs like softlocks and black screens, and repetitive mechanics that force constant eating and sleeping.
