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 fleet in deliberate turn-based naval battles where meticulous management of crew and ship damage under shifting weather and visibility creates a tense, historically grounded simulation.

What players say

Players appreciate the detailed damage and repair modeling but are split on the gunnery realism. The content is still limited to small-scale duels with no campaign, and the game is frequently compared to Atlantic Fleet. Some report performance issues with high GPU usage.
