THE CATALOGUE / 408 GAMES
Small games. Strange little rules.
Plenty of reasons to look closer.
DELEGATE / APPROVE
The developer describes release executives who arrange demos, recordings, singles and draft releases, then wait for final approval. Delegating the work leaves a decision about when the label actually puts the music out.
INVESTIGATE / DECLINE
Three romantic interests are offered alongside the option to leave them alone and deal with Asra’s problems. The investigation’s invitation does not require treating every potential relationship as an objective.
EQUIP / ENTER
The Chinese official listing describes the Tiangang set as weaker in raw attributes than the strongest equipment but equipped with underworld resistance. The advertised gear comparison depends on where the character will fight.
PLACE / TRANSFORM
The developer gives concrete tile interactions: a path reaching water becomes a dock, while a trail near a famed peak reveals temple gates. Placement can change what the scene contains, beyond adding another tile.
HOVER / REDIRECT
Trees are chopped by hovering, and nature powers activate by hovering their appearing points of interest. The input asks where to put the cursor rather than how fast to keep clicking.
BORROW / BUILD
The official short description gives Koishi using Final Spark as an example of equipping another unit’s SpellCard. The tactical build can therefore cross a character’s familiar spell identity.
STAY / CHANGE
The official synopsis asks whether Lin Xiaocou will accept eternal life or cherish a finite present with a vampire and a witch. The attraction is the unequal lifespans behind the household’s ordinary routines.
RECOVER / REATTACH
The developer says a fall or water can detach a robot’s head. Teammates can recover it and attach it to another body, while the stranded head can scoot to make the rescue easier.
SPREAD / STACK
Buildings automatically deploy troops, while stacking identical buildings upgrades their star level. Choosing more production positions and choosing a stronger producer are different uses of the construction grid.
BLOCK / EARN
The developer says successful counter-hacks earn DOS Coin, while firewall upgrades block intrusions but remove that income. Security changes which interruptions can pay rather than only how often they arrive.
SEARCH / REVEAL
The developer links scavenging aids to detection: noise, light and movement must be managed while gathering boat parts. The equipment that helps search the island is advertised as part of the pursuer’s information.
GRIP / RELEASE
The developer describes players grabbing one another by the hand or head to form a swinging chain. Crossing a gap is a question of shared grip and release, with online as well as local play advertised.
