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 lonely, meditative journey across a desolate seabed, where you carefully maintain your rickety vehicle and absorb the quiet ruins of a lost civilization.

What players say

Players agree it is a short, atmospheric journey with simple vehicle maintenance and light puzzles, best enjoyed for its art and music rather than gameplay depth. Many recommend buying on sale. A vocal minority complains about advertisements in the pause and title screens, and some find the gameplay too repetitive or the camera too zoomed out.
