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 tense, atmospheric experience of crabbing under threat in harsh Antarctic waters.

What players say

A short horror adventure with a polarizing point-and-click control scheme that players compare to old tank controls. Players appreciate the blend of ship sim mechanics and horror, but some find the movement frustrating in combat. The game is described as relaxing despite its horror elements, though a few wish it were longer.
