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 playful but unsettling RPG where you explore surreal pixel-art worlds, solve cryptic puzzles, and make choices that twist the story between heartwarming and horrifying.

What players say
Players nearly universally warn that Heartbound has been in early access for over six years with almost no progress, leaving it a short, unfinished game with only a handful of puzzles and one boss fight. Many compare it unfavorably to Undertale and criticize the developer for trickling out minor updates while abandoning the project.
