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 quiet, introspective journey into a dark and uneasy space, with a slow, meditative pace and a sense of lingering dread.

What players say

Players consistently praise this as a short, atmospheric underwater horror game that takes around 20 to 60 minutes. Many wish it were longer, but most agree the $2 price is fair. Some find the submarine controls awkward on controller, and a few reviewers mention frustration with the boss fight.
