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

You stalk enemy shipping lanes in a claustrophobic metal tube, balancing stealth, patience, and sudden violence against the vast, unforgiving Pacific.

What players say

Players call it a classic submarine sim that still holds up, though it has bugs that require workarounds. They recommend it over Silent Hunter 5 and point to mods on Subsim for fixes.
