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 procedurally generated deep-sea abyss with teammates while trying not to attract a colossal, Lovecraftian creature feels like a tense, cooperative hide-and-seek in the dark.

What players say

Players enjoy this as a co-op survival horror where you search for clues in the deep sea with friends, calling it a mix of Phasmophobia and Subnautica. They note it is fun with a squad but disappointing alone, and wish for better performance and a tutorial.
