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 point-and-click survival horror game with a cozy daytime scavenging loop that shifts into tense, creepy nighttime encounters featuring jumpscares.

What players say

Players compare it to 60 Seconds but set at sea, with a gathering phase before drifting and managing food, fishing, and random events. While first few endings come easily, later ones rely heavily on luck and players report frustration with RNG for the lore ending. The game has jump scares, a cat bonus, and runs well on Steam Deck but lacks controller support.
