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 slow-paced, calming experience where you either casually find hidden objects or simply soak in the ambiance with minimal interaction.

What players say

Players say Ambient Channels is an abandoned Early Access collection of 3D environments with no real gameplay, just walking and hidden object hunts. It has many bugs, like broken collisions and interface problems, and the developers added paid DLC before finishing the base game.
