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

Exploring a vibrant yet dangerous underwater world with pixel art, ambient sounds, and a mix of combat and serene moments.

What players say

Players praise the underwater exploration and retro atmosphere, but nearly everyone fights the controls. Many call the default control scheme clunky or broken, with no way to remap keys. Bugs are rampant: glitched fish, broken skill trees, and achievements that fail to unlock. A few recommend the easy control option, while others refund the game outright.
