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 casual turn-based naval strategy game with clear, simple mechanics and retro 2D pixel graphics that feels like a quick, replayable board game.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple, easy-to-learn strategy game with a heavy luck factor, similar to the board game Battleship. The game lacks historical realism and some find scenarios hopelessly unbalanced and frustratingly difficult, while others appreciate it as a challenging edutainment tool for learning Pacific War maps and ship orders.
