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, thoughtful exploration through a moody world where you solve puzzles and make choices to survive.

What players say
Players split on Heavy Burden: some find it a meditative philosophical experience with great music, while others call it a repetitive, poorly-controlled frustration. The game is short and ends if you refuse to push the rock.
