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 fast-paced hack-and-slash RPG with retro top-down combat and loot collection set in a mythological fantasy world.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly report the developer abandoned the game with no updates for over a year. Many describe clunky controls where skills do not always cast at the cursor, and the game is seen as a cautionary tale against buying early-access titles from small Chinese studios.
