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 lighthearted fantasy adventure where a false accusation upends a quiet village life, propelling you into a jailbreak and rebellion against a corrupt emperor.

What players say

Players warn of a 20-minute real-time train wait early on, janky combat with unclear hit detection, and platforming that makes it hard to tell which surfaces are safe. A few appreciate the story and online arena, but many find the game feels dated and unpolished.
