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 slow, story-driven journey through a beautifully atmospheric ancient Chinese fantasy world, with calm exploration and dramatic turn-based combat.

What players say

Players praise the story and music but are split by severe technical issues. On modern systems the game crashes frequently, especially during dialogue, and requires workarounds like disabling CPU cores or lowering graphics. Combat is slow turn-based with a steep difficulty that returns later.
