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 slow, hand-drawn journey through an eerie and oppressive underwater world, where a tired hero repeats his past mistakes while uncovering secrets.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and Lovecraftian style, but the game is very short (2-5 hours) and split on controls: some find them stiff, with unresponsive movement and hitbox issues, while others enjoy the laid-back puzzle-platforming. Bugs like missing tentacle spawns and looping sound effects are reported, and the story is called barely understandable.
