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

You explore Himalayan mountains, seeking shade from harsh sunlight while using a magical bow to fight demonic animals and save your village.

What players say

Players like the bow combat and find it fun for a free game, but they agree it is very short, often finishing in under two hours. Some report bugs and enemy pop-in, while a few find the controls awkward and the story unremarkable.
