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, contemplative narrative experience rooted in historical storytelling.

What players say
Players describe this as a very short interactive story or art piece, more about reading text and listening to narration than typical gameplay. Most finish in under 30 minutes, with surreal visuals and a melancholy atmosphere, though some are disappointed that the trailer's environments are backdrop to heavy text.
