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 calm yet tense trading voyage across stylized seas where careful market choices and quick sailing reflexes are rewarded.

What players say

Players praise the stylized graphics and sailing mechanics, but some found the navigation broken by invisible walls and limited content. The game launched with punishing bugs that were patched within a week, though a night-time shadow enemy keeps it challenging.
