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

A methodical, tense simulation of underwater warfare where patience and tactical planning are essential.

What players say

Players are split on this submarine simulation. Some value its deep detail and realistic systems, but many find the interface clunky, the gameplay boring, and the simulation unrealistic. Reviews also note the game has been removed from Steam and abandoned.
