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 methodical power fantasy of commanding warships through treacherous open seas, balancing resource management with explosive broadside battles.

What players say

Players say it is an arcade naval game, not an RPG like Black Flag. On-foot sections feel clunky and the menus are a mess, but the ship combat and sailing are genuinely enjoyable, especially with friends. Reviews mostly agree it is only worth buying at a steep discount.
