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

You drift through calm, sunlit waters, discovering sea life and sunken wrecks at your own pace, with gentle multiplayer interaction.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly call this an abandoned early-access game that should never have been sold. A few find it a relaxing underwater experience, especially in VR, but most say it was a scam that stayed in version 0.0 for over a decade with no updates before being delisted. Performance issues and game-breaking bugs are common.
