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 pixel-art action-adventure that blends Eastern mythology with exploration and dream-like puzzles.

What players say

Players are split on this sequel. The shift from puzzle-adventure to action-RPG with soulslike elements frustrates many who loved the original's focus on story and puzzles, while others enjoy the expanded content and find the combat manageable on easy mode. The game is widely seen as shorter than expected and its development studio reportedly closed after release.
