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

Navigating an unknown ocean trench in near-total darkness, the pressure of the deep and the hunt for battery power create a tense, exploratory experience.

What players say

Players say the game lacks direction and is often too dark to navigate, with a flashlight that drains quickly. It feels like a short, unfinished student project that many could not complete or find the creatures shown in the trailer.
