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 minimalist, surreal interactive animation where you push through and against a crowd, feeling a growing sense of isolation and unease.

What players say
Players see KIDS as a very short, surreal art piece that is more about a message than gameplay. Many compare it to a museum exhibit or short film, and reviews are split on whether that makes it work as a game.
