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-burning, narrative-heavy experience where moral choices unfold in a tense, colonial-era setting, focusing on dialogue and observation rather than action.

What players say
Players praise the story, characters, and voice acting but warn the game is incomplete and ends on a cliffhanger, with no updates since 2021. Many criticize the lack of a manual save option. Players are split on whether it is worth buying in its unfinished state.
