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 gentle, colorful underwater exploration with light turn-based naval combat and a search for treasure and meaning.

What players say

Players love the handcrafted clay diorama visuals and atmospheric sound design, but are split on the combat: some find it brutally engaging, others say it gets monotonous and the main boss is too hard. The RPG mechanics are basic and the battle theme can hurt ears, but the charm and exploration keep most recommending it.
