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.

What players say

Players say TransOcean 2 removes the manual ship sailing and streamlined menus of the first game, leaving a stripped-down experience that some compare to a mobile title. The campaign starts well but becomes grindy, and the interface frustrates many. A few still find it addictive for logistics fans, especially at a discount.
