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 slowly pilot a submarine through dim alien waters, methodically documenting marine life with a narrow spotlight and a focus on scientific observation.

What players say

Players describe a tense, atmospheric journey through Europa's dark alien ocean. The creature designs and sound design are praised, though controls can be difficult and the game is very short. It is often compared to Iron Lung, and players warn it is not like Subnautica.
