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

You drift through hand-drawn underwater scenes at your own pace, spotting shimmering jelly creatures while gentle ocean sounds and music keep everything calm and cosy.

What players say

Players call it a relaxing spot-the-difference game where you find unique jellies in dark underwater scenes. It is short, under two hours, and lets you name the creatures you discover. Later levels get tricky as differences become subtle, and some players find it overpriced for the length.
