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 gentle, story-driven horseback riding adventure through picturesque alpine landscapes with a focus on friendship and calming exploration.

What players say

Players praise the open world and archery, but many say the game is too short and movement is frustratingly slow with no fast travel. Performance problems and bugs are common, and the story is widely considered cheesy.
