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 deliberate, challenging action RPG with methodical combat and a dark fantasy atmosphere.

What players say

Players strongly warn the game is abandoned by its developer, who moved on to another project. Most reviews cite a lack of English translation, with tutorials and text entirely in Chinese. Combat is described as having weak feedback and floaty hits, while the map is dark and navigation can be confusing. There is no ending or further updates.
