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 theatrical, time-twisting adventure where you solve mysteries by rewinding moments and working with other players in a cozy, dreamlike space.

What players say

Players say The Under Presents was a breakthrough when live actors roamed its desert, but those performances are gone and multiplayer is mostly abandoned. The single-player Time Boat mode is a non-interactive film that some call a snooze. A few veterans keep the community alive through voiceless puzzle solving, and most fans still call it a unique VR experience worth having.
