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

Sailing the seas with a ghost crew, raiding ships for treasure in a swashbuckling adventure.

What players say

Players consistently praise the pirate theme and treasure hunting loop, and many call the world charming. Combat is a hack-and-slash affair against mech-riding cat enemies, though one reviewer found it janky and the gun system confusing.
