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 quirky, turn-based RPG where managing a party of adventurers in a pixel-art fantasy world feels lighthearted yet tactically demanding.

What players say

Fans of the first two games are angry, saying the series stripped away its signature charm and features. The game is buggy, the economy is poorly balanced, and crucial items or characters can be permanently missed if you progress too fast.
