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.

A linear action RPG with hack-and-slash combat set in an ancient time period.

What players say

Players praise the martial arts combo system and nostalgic value, but agree the Steam release is a raw port leaving problems: low 800×600 max resolution, no modern optimization, and crashes or lag on Windows 10. The high-tier gem fusion is frustratingly rare, and on higher difficulties the final boss can one-shot you.
