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 sprawling mythological martial arts adventure that encourages exploration and storytelling with a free-to-play structure.

What players say

Players praise the Sekiro-like parry system, gorgeous scenery, and deep character customization, but the game attracts heavy criticism for ignoring bug reports and letting pvp latency issues fester. The cash shop is expensive and cosmetics-only, yet reviews split on whether the free-to-play story and exploration compensate for unskippable cutscenes, menu bloat, and a pve endgame that runs thin.
