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 tense cooperative puzzle-solving experience where you and a partner must work together under pressure to locate a lost submarine.

What players say

Players call it a solid asymmetric co-op escape room that relies on describing what you see to a partner, but some puzzles feel more like communication drills than logic challenges. The second player must use a phone or tablet, which some find frustrating. It is shorter and easier than the first How 2 Escape, and a few reviews mention a missing FOV slider or weak hints.
