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 charming retro-inspired RPG that feels like a modernized classic, blending simple fun with strategic combat and exploration.

What players say

Players are split on Sea of Stars. Many praise the pixel art and soundtrack, but a consistent complaint is that the story and characters are flat, with the character Garl dominating conversations and leaving others undeveloped. Combat starts fun but is often called repetitive, and the timing-based mechanics can frustrate.
