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 turn-based naval strategy game where you command pirate ships to capture, pillage, and outmaneuver opponents on a large open sea map.

What players say

Players say this is an iPad port that was barely adapted to mouse and keyboard. The game is punishing even on easy mode because enemy ships move before you can click your units. A common description is a stripped-down North & South with pirate theme. There is no online multiplayer and the campaign only has four maps. Players who enjoy it treat it as a cheap way to kill an hour.
