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 tense and methodical side-scrolling action game set in a war-torn historical Korea, where precision archery and careful combat define the feel.

What players say

Players mostly enjoy the combat but split on the difficulty and polish. Many praise the responsive action and Korean historical setting, while criticizing the short length, the lack of keyboard support, a dodge that does not pass through enemies, and performance stutters when transitioning areas. Some note an infinite combo that trivializes bosses.
