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

You manage a martial arts sect, balancing resource gathering, training, and diplomacy in a methodical systems-driven simulation.

What players say

Players nearly all agree the game was abandoned unfinished after hitting 1.0, and many warn against buying any game from this developer. A few long-time enjoyers praise the depth of self-created clans and martial arts, but even they call it a half-finished product with no living world or good combat.
