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 breezy, cinematic brawler that puts you in the shoes of a movie martial arts star, chaining flashy combat through Hong Kong and San Francisco with more style than depth.

About

Kit Yun (character model after Jet Li), soon finds himself in non-stop action, due to following a dying man's wish. Cinematic storytelling with martial arts we could only see in Jet Li's movies, now as a game, leads through a dozen levels spanning Hong Kong and San Francisco while you fight out of duty, or for honor.
