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
Descending into a vast, silent deep-sea world feels tense and isolating, with deliberate exploration through dimly lit zones and an undertone of unknown danger.

What players say
Players praise the atmosphere and aesthetic, but find the controls clunky, combat janky, and puzzles unintuitive. Some call it a promising idea with poor execution, and a few note specific difficulty spikes like the generator eel.
