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

You methodically assemble a grotesque creature from body parts and abilities, then fight and explore a dark underwater world with permanent consequences for mistakes.

What players say

Players say Sipho is a short, repetitive evolution game that scratches the Spore cell-stage itch, but most feel it is overpriced for only two hours of content. Maps are cramped, resources are scarce, and enemies often flee instead of fighting, though a minority enjoy the replayable creature-building and difficult achievements.
