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 hand-crafted open world survival game where you scavenge materials to craft vehicles and weapons while sailing as a cursed pirate evading navy troops.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly say Captain Bones shipped unfinished: quests break, story ends abruptly, and progression bugs block getting a ship. Combat is basic and naval fights are trivialized by boarding. A few see potential but agree the $20 price is too high for what feels like early access.
