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 tranquil yet sometimes perilous journey across the open sea, where you steer, navigate, and manage supplies at your own pace.

What players say

Players say Sailwind started as a cozy sailing game but updates pushed it toward hardcore survival, with added food, water, and sleep mechanics that feel tedious. The wind often works against you, and the removal of swimming to push the boat has left many stuck, while the replacement oars barely help. Physics bugs and pitch-black nights add frustration.
