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, claustrophobic survival horror where you navigate a rundown ocean-floor facility, solving puzzles while evading brutal creatures.

What players say

Players enjoy the tense atmosphere and say it captures the feel of Soma or Alien Isolation, but opinions split on the enemy AI which some find frustrating. The underwater setting is largely wasted, as the facility has no windows to show the deep sea.
