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, desolate trek across a barren desert planet where every scrap of resource feels hard-won and the silence is broken only by sparse, tense encounters.

What players say
Players are split: many praise the atmosphere and meditation on grief, calling it a short but meaningful experience. Others find it an empty walking simulator with repetitive water collection and frustrating permadeath that forces restarting nearly the whole game.
