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 silent abyss at your own pace, uncovering echoes of a forgotten civilization through gentle swimming and observation.

What players say

Players praise the unique singing mechanic that drives both puzzles and a language-learning style of exploration. The game is short, about 3-4 hours, and offers two endings. Many compare it favorably to Outer Wilds and Abzu for its atmospheric world and satisfying discovery.
