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 and challenging underwater survival experience where players must fend off aggressive great white sharks in a visceral, arcade-style first-person encounter.

What players say

Players describe a tense but very brief arcade experience where you harpoon great white sharks in an empty ocean. The atmosphere and shark AI impress, but after about an hour of unlocking all achievements, there is nothing left to do. Reviews split on whether the low price makes it a passable time waster.
