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 first-person underwater survival sandbox where you scavenge, build, and explore a colorful yet menacing ocean in a fragile submarine.

What players say

Players widely call this a clone of A Game About Digging a Hole, set underwater with oxygen instead of a battery. Some enjoy the relaxing digging loop and upgrades, but many find it short, shallow, and derivative, especially the ending. A few report development has stopped and the game feels unfinished.
