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 tense, methodical fleet-scale naval combat simulation set in the late 19th century, requiring careful tactical planning and real-time decision-making.

What players say

Players say the game is extremely slow and offers very little to do: only one map, two factions, no advanced commands, and minimal customization. Reviews are split on whether the realistic ship models justify the tedium.
