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 calm, methodical restoration sim where you build coral havens to save marine life, guided by authentic sounds and a serene underwater pace.

What players say

Players praise Life Below as a relaxing underwater city builder with gorgeous visuals and music, but opinions split on difficulty. While many find it chill and rewarding, some report that random hazards can ruin a run without warning, and the lack of automation means micromanaging through the campaign.
