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

Steering a powerful rescue vessel through brutal storms feels urgent and methodical, blending the tension of life-or-death operations with the steady rhythm of nautical simulation.

What players say

Players praise the realistic ship handling but many say the controls are broken, especially with mouse steering. Reviews are split: some find it a good value simulation, others call it boring and unfinished.
