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 bizarre, abstract trip through a hand-drawn world with fragmented text and turn-based encounters.

What players say
Players describe Hylics as a short, surreal experience more than a traditional game, praising its unique claymation visuals and bizarre charm. Some note the randomly generated text can be confusing, and a few needed a guide to find the third act.
