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

An eerie, gravity-bending puzzle-platformer where shifting rules keep you off-balance in a dark, mysterious world.

What players say

Players say The Under is a very simple platformer where you only jump, with level design that feels untested and a lack of widescreen support. Some find a certain charm and a good soundtrack, but many call it a mobile-quality game that is too short and not worth its price, with complaints about input lag and no updates since launch.
