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 tactical RPG with light wuxia flavour, where you build and equip a party of 20 characters through a straightforward story, though many systems feel still in development.

What players say

Players say the early game is punishing, requiring heavy grinding to progress, with a drug-resistance system that forces manual play. The story is thin, but fans of the developer's previous game 猎魔战纪 find the grind loop engaging.
