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 methodical, rules-heavy tactical RPG where careful party creation and turn-based combat drive a classic fantasy dungeon crawl.

What players say

Players are split. Many praise the deep tactical combat and strong 3.5 D&D implementation, calling the enemy AI the best in turn-based RPGs. But just as many warn of brutal difficulty spikes, poor balancing, and encounters that take 45+ minutes, leaving them mentally fatigued. Complaints also target the addition of AI-generated art and a price that has not dropped since release.
