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 low-commitment, incremental adventure where progress accrues passively with light role-playing elements.

What players say

Players praise the art, music, and accessibility options, but many say the game is shallow or unfinished. A few long-time players criticize steep difficulty spikes and meaningless progression, though some enjoy the build variety and QOL features. Others note the Chinese translation is rough and that features like mining feel disconnected from combat.
