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 lonely, tense descent into the deep sea where you carefully maintain your rickety submarine while scanning eerie locations under constant threat of mechanical failure.

What players say

Players compare it to Iron Lung and praise its oppressive atmosphere and dread, but many report the scanning system is buggy or non-functional, and a few say the game crashed their computer. Opinions split on whether the jankiness ruins the experience or is worth tolerating for the horror.
