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 sailing adventure where careful decisions and resource management shape your crew's fate through an open world of historical exploration.

What players say

Players are frustrated that this is a single-player game requiring a constant internet connection, calling it an MMO-style grind for equipment and ship blueprints with very low drop rates. The server connection is unreliable, and travel speeds are slow. A few long-time players enjoy the loop and say it is the best modern Uncharted Waters experience.
