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.

What players say

Players describe it as more of an RPG than a simulator, with a pirate island setting and many activities like fishing and trading. They are split on polish: some report crashes and cite the lack of manual saving as a real problem, while others find it fun and addictive. Long-time players praise the amount of content for the price, but note the fast-passing time and awkward controls.
