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.

What players say

Players praise the well-written romance between a nomadic chieftain and a blind Han prince, calling it sweet and intimate. The game is short but offers multiple endings plus epilogues and side stories. Some note broken achievements and minor typos.
