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 charming but punishing physics adventure where guiding fragile fish through absurd obstacles feels both endearing and hair-pullingly tense.

What players say

Players love the idea of controlling a fish in a bowl or bottle, but many find the controls clumsy and late levels, especially the flying fish, frustrating enough to spoil the fun. A skip-level option helps, but performance problems and janky physics hold the game back for some.
