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 methodical and tense simulation where every sonar ping and depth charge drop demands careful attention to authentic instruments and tactics.

What players say

Players say the game is a realistic submarine simulation that is rewarding once learned, but warn of a steep difficulty spike. Some report frequent crashes, and the campaign is considered short with no career progression. Players also note the lack of multiplayer.
