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 casual, linear 2D side-scrolling platformer where you explore a colorful underwater world and swing using an oxygen tether.

What players say

Players praise this as a short, focused underwater platform-puzzler with clever tether mechanics and tight controls. At around one to two hours, it never overstays its welcome, though experienced puzzle players find the challenges simple. Collecting all diamonds for achievements adds significant difficulty, and some wish for more levels.
