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 story-driven survival RPG with turn-based card combat, set in a wuxia world where you manage resources and explore as a traumatized amnesiac protagonist seeking connection amidst betrayal.

What players say

Players praise the writing and traditional wuxia atmosphere, but nearly all agree the story stops abruptly without a sequel or update. Combat is simple and repetitive, with wild enemies scaling faster than the player, forcing grind. Split on whether the good writing justifies the unfinished state.
