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 deliberate, floaty, and emotional journey of a small creature swimming through underwater precision platforming, where careful movement and exploration feel gentle yet consequential.

What players say
Players compare it to Getting Over It, controlling a salmon with only left and right inputs. They praise the soothing narrator and pixel art, but warn that falls are punishing and progress can be lost. A quicksave mode is available for those who want less frustration, and many note the game's difficulty feels thematically appropriate.
