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, lonely exploration through an unknown nebula where every jump might be your last, with a darkly humorous edge.

What players say

Players say Deep Sixed is a punishing ship management game where every system can fail and repairs require flipping through an in-game manual. The no-save, permadeath structure means death sends you back to the start, which many find more frustrating than fun.
