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 methodical, systems-focused experience that asks you to manage a vessel with patient attention to detail rather than reflexes.

What players say

Players call it an unfinished early access sim with a large real-world map and solid foundations, but bugs block progress: ferries won't load cars, thrusters have no effect, the ECDIS glitches, and tutorials stall. Graphics and sound draw consistent complaints, and several say the price is too high for what shipped.
