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 command a customizable ship in real-time player vs. player naval battles, relying on strategic maneuvering and upgrades to outgun rivals.

What players say

Players compare it to Seafight, but opinions split on pay to win. The game has few real players, many bots, and veterans can sink newcomers repeatedly with no matchmaking. Long-time players say development keeps improving, though content is still limited as of late 2024.
