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 navigate a dim, cramped submarine through murky underwater caves, relying on a flickering light and an unreliable scanner to find your way in a quiet, oppressive atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and sound design but are split on the controls, with many finding navigation frustrating and the submarine difficult to steer. Some describe it as a relaxing, meditative experience, while others report motion sickness or unclear objectives.
