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 nostalgic, emotional journey through a richly told Chinese fantasy tale, blending dramatic romance, martial arts, and turn-based exploration with a poignant, story-driven feel.

What players say

Players praise the story and music as the series' best, but criticize the tanky controls, dated graphics, and excessive backtracking. Many report text encoding and crash issues.
