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 calm, cooperative ship-handling experience focused on career building and exploration across the Norwegian Sea.

What players say

Players are split on this Early Access ship simulator. Many praise its potential and say it has improved over time, but a significant number warn about broken contract validation, clunky movement and remarkably long sailing times with little to do. The core loop of cargo missions feels slow and the jump in ship prices is steep.
