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 solitary night fishing trip where the calm, empty sea gradually turns to quiet dread as the unknown surfaces.

What players say

Players call this a short first-person cosmic horror story, around 15 to 20 minutes, set on a fishing boat at night, and most say the art and sound design carry the tension well. A few find the fishing mechanic clunky and the platforming section not interactive enough, and many wish it were longer since it is free.
