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 gentle, dreamlike underwater journey where you float through vivid hand-drawn scenery, collect glowing pearls, and unravel cryptic messages in a deeply tranquil and meditative pace.

What players say

Players love the trippy, hand-painted art style, but many warn that it is a very short experience that ends abruptly with a 'thanks for playing the demo' message, making it feel like an unfinished game.
