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.

What players say

Players say this is a stripped-down version of the original Shadowhand that removes the turn-based battles and RPG depth, keeping the same story and art. The equipment system remains fun, but the game is easier and more luck-dependent, with some finding the writing weak and levels frustrating.
