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 fast-paced, arcade-style naval simulation where you build and pilot a customizable warship against waves of enemy forces.

What players say

Players see it as a spiritual successor to Warship Gunner, praising the over-the-top ship customization and arcade action. Reviews are split on difficulty, calling bosses either trivial or brutally hard, and some say the developer abandoned it. The game is short, around 20 hours, with a slow start before opening up.
