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 laid-back strategic adventure where you sail with a crew of AI cats, fight sea monsters and ships, then return to port to upgrade and restock.

About

The game consists of two major parts: a nautical mode in which you operate your own ship with AI cats (crew) and go on adventures, fighting other ships and sea monsters, and a port mode in which you customize your ship, replace crew, and cash in resources obtained in battle.
