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 laid-back sandbox where you tinker with ship designs and test them against AI foes to see what works.

What players say

Players enjoy the freedom to build and fight with ships, subs, and aircraft carriers. The building interface is primitive and lacks bulk placement, and performance can drop in large battles, though it runs on low-end hardware. The campaign unlocks parts without a tech tree but is not very challenging.
