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 contemplative point-and-click puzzle game with a meditative pace, rich in Chinese folklore and atmospheric pixel art that feels like stepping into an ink painting.

What players say
Players praise the time-rewinding mechanic and atmosphere, but note the puzzles are very easy or sometimes too abstract. The base game is short at 4 to 5 hours, and the DLC is seen as weaker. Some feel the story is predictable and the game's scope feels like it could have been larger.
