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

Controlling naval fleets across vast oceans feels methodical and tense, with a focus on tactical decision-making and strategic progression.

What players say

Players describe it as an arcade-style naval game similar to Sid Meier's Pirates in WW2, not a realistic simulation. The campaign is forgiving but lacks depth, and the Axis side is notably weaker with lower XP goals.
