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 grindy open-world roguelike where failing tribulations resets your progress, cycling through endless quests and combat.

What players say

Players describe this as a lightweight xianxia RPG that's essentially a single-player grind simulator, but they criticize the missing explanations for crafting and equipment, frequent bugs like save file corruption and infinite load screens, and a repetitive loop that becomes boring after the midgame. Several note that the developer abandoned the game to work on a mobile project.
