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 text-heavy, turn-based wuxia sandbox where you build a legacy across generations, making moral choices that shape your path from nobody to alliance leader.

What players say

Players call this a cheap, fun time-waster with interesting skill combos, but warn that grinding is relentless and balance is broken, archers die to their own reflection damage, late-game enemies one-shot, and fights can drag for hundreds of rounds. Development has been abandoned since 2023, leaving bugs and a broken ending unfixed.
