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

Frantically coordinating with a large crew on a creaking ship under cannon fire feels like controlled chaos on the high seas.

What players say

Players say Blackwake is a dead multiplayer game that hasn't been updated in years. It suffers from a tiny player base, clunky movement and combat, and frequent launch failures. A few still enjoy it in groups, but most agree the prime is long past.
