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 clunky but earnest tribute to naval warfare, focusing on operating varied ship weapons through scripted missions.

What players say

Players compare it to Battlestations and appreciate the historical focus on a lesser known naval conflict. Most find the ship combat enjoyable, but helicopter controls are widely criticized as difficult. Some players note the game runs at 30 fps and missions can be punishing with one life per attempt.
