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 chaotic, hands-on multiplayer VR brawl where you and your crew physically load cannons and steer the ship in frantic sea fights.

What players say

Players praise the visuals and potential but report a dead multiplayer scene with no one to crew with, making solo play frustrating. Controls are janky and many request a smooth turning option. The game is VR-only and free, which a minority resent.
