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 claustrophobic, punishing dive into the deep ocean where every creature and current threatens to end your run.

What players say

Players praise the deep-sea pixel art and challenging bosses but are split on polish, with some calling the sound design and hitboxes unfinished and others appreciating the learning-by-doing approach.
