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 tactical fantasy RPG where you command a party in real-time combat, pausing to plan moves against challenging foes in a mysterious world.

What players say

Players consistently praise the art and music, but controls are divisive. The movement is eight-directional and mouse control feels awkward, making keyboard or controller better. Combat requires frequent party switching and rune use. A vocal minority reports poor UI polish and vague talent descriptions.
