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 deliberate turn-based naval wargame that feels methodical and historically grounded, with a focus on tactical decision-making.

What players say

Players recognize it as a faithful digital version of the Avalon Hill board game Victory in the Pacific, but almost all warn the developer has abandoned it since late 2022 with no patches, fixes, or communication. Reviews are split: some enjoy the gameplay and decisions, while others find the AI unfairly accurate, the UI clumsy, and the tutorials broken.
