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.

About

Anamorphine is a first-person surreal exploration game where the player experiences the memories of the main character after an unknown trauma. You play as Tyler, who is finding himself as he hits rock bottom. Discover what happened by journeying through Tyler's memories of his relationship with his wife Elena and her depression. Escape his reality, or face it and figure out how to move on as Tyler's subconscious twists the game in unexpected ways. Anamorphine is also coming to VR devices, and we'll be revealing more on that later.
