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 short, whimsical mystery where you explore a goofy clown world as a hard-boiled detective, balancing silly balloon tricks with noir-like investigation.

What players say
Players praise the charm and writing, though they split on length: many finish in under two hours and call it too short, while others find it priced fairly for a game-jam-sized experience. The balloon-animal mechanic is a standout, and achievements are widely reported as bugged. There are multiple endings.
