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-paced, strategic game where you manage resources and build trade routes across a procedurally generated high-seas world.

What players say

Players split on this trade sim: some call it the best in the genre, others find the mechanics unclear and the UI clunky. The campaign can blindside you with late mission requirements, and many veterans of similar games describe it as unpolished.
