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 slow, tense sailing simulation where you navigate hostile seas as a lifeline for struggling survivors, balancing the weight of responsibility with the constant threat of the environment.

What players say

Players say the sailing mechanics are promising, but the game is plagued by micro freezes, clipping, broken saves, and worse performance than the demo, especially after a Unity engine update. A few still recommend it, noting an occasional magic when it works, but most agree it is not ready even for early access.
