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

It feels like wandering through a rusted, oil-stained city of scrap and steel, slowly piecing together a quiet, melancholic story of rediscovery between humans and machines.

About

The winds blow the smell of oil and iron around an artificial creation, a city where people dwell between scrap and machine. In this town human beings and cyborgs live mixed-in together. Within there lives a "mostly cyborg, tuning and maintenance" cyberne doctor named Ido. One day, he came out of the town and in a mountain of scrap found a cyborg girl asleep for hundreds of years and brought her back to life.
