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 fast, arcade-style action MMORPG with responsive third-person combat and flashy, anime-inspired visuals.

What players say

Players say Dragon Nest was a standout action MMO in its prime around 2012, but the current version is dead, plagued by a broken launcher, IP bans, and a cash shop that takes Steam wallet currency but can't be spent. Long-time fans are crushed by what happened after the company change, lost accounts, removed difficulty, an energy system, and years of neglected updates.
