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 and claustrophobic half-hour descent into the deep sea where you must guide a crewmate through puzzles while avoiding a mysterious light.

What players say

Players describe a very short, atmospheric underwater horror game that takes about 30 minutes. The morse code and periscope mechanics are tricky at first but satisfying to learn, and players compare it to Iron Lung. Many wish there was more content or an endless mode.
