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 contemplative journey through a mythical world with deep party interaction and turn-based combat, wrapped in Chinese folklore.

What players say

Players are split: some find the story's emotional payoff worthwhile after a slow start, while many criticize tedious gameplay mechanics like no auto save, weak skills, and a bloated roster of poorly developed characters. Performance and dated visuals draw frequent complaints.
