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 simulation of naval warfare where every decision to deploy carriers, submarines, or surface ships carries weight as you struggle to protect supply lines.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the realistic naval damage models and recreating historical battles, but many are frustrated by cheaty AI, tedious manual controls, and a UI that feels copied from Cold Waters. The developers have stopped updating the game, and submarines are widely considered pointless.
