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 leisurely, text-driven adventure where you chart your own course through a romantic and morally complex pirate saga.

What players say

Players are split on this text-only pirate romance. Some praise the writing and steamy romance options, others find the love interests bland and feel the game pushes them toward lawful behavior rather than letting them be a ruthless pirate. The crew and pirate theme are highlights, but the linearity frustrates those seeking more agency.
