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, atmospheric descent into the abyss where you passively observe an eerie underwater world while dreading an unseen creature, combining idle waiting with quiet tension.

What players say

Players say it is an idle game where you just sink to the bottom, with beautiful but simple underwater visuals. The game crashes and lags frequently, though some find it relaxing for achievement hunting.
