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 lone swordfighter battles through stylized ink-painted islands, blending methodical combat with a sense of duty and isolation.

What players say

Players are split on this Sekiro-inspired action game. Many call the combat satisfying at its core, but nearly everyone cites unfinished translation, buggy saves, and janky animations that ruin the experience. Reviews written through 2025 suggest development stalled.
