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.

A lighthearted strategic multiplayer game focused on building and battling custom pirate ships.

What players say

Players call it a solid pirate ship builder that is fun and relaxing in short bursts, but many warn the game is unfinished and pay-to-win. Reviews highlight addictive ship customization, but split on balance and report long repair timers in PvP, along with progress resets.
