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 relaxing yet engaging board-game-like naval strategy game with clear, simple mechanics and retro pixel visuals.

What players say

Players describe it as a deceptively deep turn-based naval game in the style of Panzer General, with many units and scenarios. A recurring complaint is that the game crashes more than expected, and some players find the AI brutally difficult with no difficulty setting.
