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
Feels like a meticulous and tense naval command simulator where every sensor ping and weapon launch is a calculated decision in a cold, high-stakes environment.

What players say
Players are split: some call it a faithful classic of Cold War naval simulation and a bargain, while others say the non-functional scenario editor and crashes on modern Windows make it unplayable. The interface is clunky but the depth of realistic, slow-paced combat is praised.
