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 moody, rain-drenched feudal Japan where you hop between bodies, each with unique combat styles, to unravel a dark family drama through narrative choices.

What players say

Players praise the body-swapping time loop premise and the charm of possessing many characters, but combat divides them: parrying is satisfying, yet getting stun-locked by groups without invincibility frames frustrates many. The story and collection side keep some going, but reviewers warn it grows repetitive without the ability to start mid-loop.
