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.

About

Sea Salt is an action strategy hybrid, where you are Dagon, The Old God, the eldritch force of the sea, summoning unfathomable horrors from the sea to calin vengeance on the religious figures who have dared to defy you, and anyone else that stands in your way. For years Dagon was willing to offer humanity fair winds for their fishing vessels in exchange for their prayers, and a sacrifice when the time came. The humans were happy to enjoy the riches and prosperity provided by Dagon. They knew the price, but cowardice overtook their faith when the time came to collect their debts. The Bishop of the new faith defied Dagon’s will so the horrors of the deep salt veins of the sea will emerge to claim what is theirs. Command an unruly swarm of nightmarish creatures, cultists and horrors in this new single player indie action real time strategy hybrid. A multitude of monstrous followers are waiting to be unlocked and summoned as you progress through a gothic dark fantasy story. Use terrain to surround your enemies, fear and the element of surprise will be your weapons when overcoming bloodthirsty hunters and tenacious bosses on the way to claiming your true sacrifice.
