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 tentative, dark multiplayer world where you cautiously explore dungeons with others, fight monsters, and solve puzzly traps.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly report that The Yellow King was abandoned by its developers with no updates for years, leaving what they describe as a dead multiplayer game with terrible PC controls and an unfinished feel.
