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 precise, physics-focused virtual pinball simulation with a lively pirate-themed playfield and smooth, high-fidelity ball rolling.

What players say

Players praise the striking visuals and pirate theme, but disagree on the physics: some find them unrealistic and frustrating, while others consider them well-balanced and deeper than other pinball sims. Many note the game was stuck in early access for years, though the developers eventually returned to finish it and hint at more tables.
