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 tense, cooperative experience where you and a partner rely on voice communication to keep a broken submarine from sinking under pressure.

What players say

Players figure out the controls by trial and error, then find the game simple and short, often finishing in under two hours. Reviews are split on depth: some call it too barebones while others praise the atmosphere and see potential.
