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

You navigate cramped submarine corridors, crouching and peeking to avoid a lurking monster while following narrated instructions to collect items.

What players say

Players describe a very short horror game where you grab items and escape a submarine. The voice acting and sound design get praise, but the atmosphere feels generic and the subtitles are buggy. The monster AI is inconsistent and the ending leaves people wanting more.
