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 lonely, tense short story about a boy adrift at night, evoking quiet dread and wonder through minimal 2D visuals and narration.

What players say
Players describe this as a very short interactive art piece, under 10 minutes, where you row a boat and dodge whales and fish with only three buttons. The controls are never explained and many find the mechanics obtuse or unresponsive. The monochrome visuals and sound design get praise, but some call it half-baked and compare it unfavorably to Limbo or ABZÛ.
