The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 slow, reflective first-person walk through memory-soaked surroundings, gently piecing together a car while basking in the quiet comfort of a fading sunset.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic, emotional story about memories and moving on, but many find the game too short and repetitive as a scavenger hunt for car parts. Motion blur and lag on some systems, and several players call it a walking simulator with not enough gameplay.
