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 fast-paced roguelike action game where you fight through procedurally generated myth-inspired arenas using martial arts and magical items.

What players say

Players call it a simpler, easier Hades clone with Chinese mythology, but many find the difficulty too low and the story too short, finishing in a few hours. The translation and UI are rough, and while some enjoy the builds and meta progression, others say there is little real build variety and the game feels unfinished.
