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

Tense survival-horror action aboard a storm-battered, blood-soaked whaling ship.

What players say

Players call it a solid survival horror that feels like Resident Evil 4 on a storm-tossed ship where you must hold onto railings to aim. However, the PC port is broken on modern hardware. Players split on whether it is worth the trouble to get running for its tense atmosphere and creative ship-shaking levels.
