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, turn-based roguelike adventure where you gradually power up your youkai allies through shopping and upgrades, with difficulty you can tailor to your comfort.

What players say

Players describe it as a typical entry in the Dawn of Kagura series: a short roguelike dungeon crawler with a bow-wielding shrine maiden. The story is minimal, and adult scenes are unlocked via defeat or farming kills. Difficulty spikes sharply on normal mode, leading some to recommend easy mode. A patch from the official site is needed for uncensored content.
