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 compare it to Mount and Blade with pirates, often calling it a clone. Many find it fun for a while but say it is abandoned, broken, and forces restarting after a single lost battle. The main story can be finished in 10 to 15 hours.
