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 grim visual novel where a friendly camping trip slowly unravels into a tense and supernatural nightmare in the dark woods.

What players say

Players praise Deep Under as a well-polished short horror visual novel (2 to 5 hours) with strong atmosphere and sound design, but the story relies more on reading than interactivity, choices are few but impactful, leading to multiple endings. Some note the English option was hidden behind a Russian default, and a few wish for more character or lore depth.
