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 lighthearted, strategically-paced retro adventure of shipbuilding and island conquest on the high seas.

What players say

Players say the game is a mix of Crusader with ship exploration but suffers from heavy RNG, bugs, and no tutorial. Many find it too short and unfair, while fans of the series appreciate the charm and strategic variety.
