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-stakes, family-friendly action-adventure where you level up characters through colorful, hand-drawn levels, collecting loot while progressing through a structured series of stages.

What players say

Players enjoy this as a simple, addictive hack-and-slash through the Journey to the West, with hand-drawn art and distinct abilities for each of the four characters. The graphics are called abstract, but the upgrade loop and boss fights keep it fun, and many find the low price worth it for the large number of levels.
