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 cooperative adventure through mythic China with fast-paced combat and character growth.

What players say

Players praise the distinct watercolor art style and co-op potential, but note the game feels like a proof of concept from a solo developer. Combat is thin, content is limited, and the game requires an online connection even for singleplayer.
