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

Gliding through serene underwater caverns and sunlit oases, you uncover ancient secrets and face gentle danger at your own pace.

What players say

Players remember Aquaria fondly for its exploration and atmosphere, especially the first encounter with the surface. Some find its progression cryptic, but the game remains a nostalgic favorite that still draws players in.
