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 tense tactical naval adventure where you navigate procedurally generated seas, survive vicious Lovecraftian battles, and manage crew while facing environmental hazards.

What players say

Players are split: some appreciate the effort, but many call it a free mobile game sold on Steam with repetitive encounters and tiny maps. The bounty system can trap players in a punishing loop, and there is no real main storyline to follow.
