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

Sailing freely across an open ocean with realistic physics and a sense of calm exploration.

What players say

Players call it the best marine sandbox for realistic sailing with a modding community that adds quality ships and scenery, though the default content is limited. The game is a tribute to long-time developer Ilan Papini, and while some bugs exist, the open-ended world and accurate sceneries keep players engaged for hundreds of hours.
