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 praise the inclusive character options and the setting inspired by the 7th Sea tabletop RPG, but many feel the story forces the player into friendships rather than allowing a true anti-pirate path. Some say it requires familiarity with the tabletop game to fully enjoy, while others find the multiple playthroughs too similar. Players also note an unusual abundance of female characters.
