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

Guiding a silent swarm through dark, watery caverns feels solitary and meditative, with a quiet tension from hidden threats and puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the minimalist art, music, and wordless story but split on the gameplay: some find it relaxing and balanced, others call it boring and repetitive. A common frustration is the inability to skip cutscenes, and a few report getting stuck at checkpoints or in boss fights.
