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 somber, meditative voyage across a flooded world, where you manage a clunky vehicle and solve environmental puzzles while the game's hand-drawn visuals and moody soundtrack set a lonely, reflective tone.

What players say

Most players prefer the simpler first game, Changing Tides adds more complex puzzles and ship management that some find tedious and others enjoy. The ending connects neatly to Lone Sails and is widely praised, but the story feels thinner along the way. Steam Deck users need a launch option fix.
