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 sprawling pirate simulation where you command a ship, build a fleet, and conquer colonies with a mix of naval battles and swashbuckling adventure.

What players say

Players consistently report that Sea Dogs: Caribbean Tales is buggy, with crashes and corrupted saves that make progress unreliable. The ending is broken and several tavern interactions do not work. Players are split: some enjoy it for nostalgia, others say it is unplayable on modern systems.
