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 deliberate, challenging tactical RPG where you methodically explore a dark medieval city, customizing your party and using clever environmental combos to overcome enemies.

What players say

Players praise the tactical combat and class system but are split on whether it matches Horizon's Gate. Many find it shorter and more focused, with a punishing difficulty and dense exploration. Complaints focus on the lack of a text size slider and pixelated interface making it hard to read.
