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

Exploring a vast, alien underwater trench feels lonely and tense as you scavenge for resources to survive and slowly build shelter in a dangerous, immersive world.

What players say

Players enjoy the calming soundtrack and cute graphics while exploring an ocean floor full of danger. Many compare it to Subnautica or Terraria, and some note the building feels like Minecraft.
