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 grind-heavy looter where players repeatedly conquer strongholds for gear upgrades with minimal narrative or atmosphere.

What players say

Players are split on Hunter of Ming Dynasty. Some praise its unique concept and low price, calling it a steal at $10, while others call it a barebones semi-product with no tutorial, a vast empty map, and frustrating design like starting without arrows and expensive shops. There is also a shared concern that the developers might abandon early access.
