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 dreamy and surreal exploration through a hybrid 2D-3D world, with a gentle pace and introspective moments as you clean the inner bodies of quirky characters.

What players say
Players are split on the 2D/3D hybrid design: many love the Zelda-like dungeons and meta story, while others feel the barren 3D overworld is a bait-and-switch. The writing tackles depression, mortality, and religion, and the PS1 aesthetic is appreciated. Some find the gameplay tedious with fetch quests.
