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 brooding, old-school turn-based RPG where you navigate a pixelated world with a heavy story of betrayal and dark gifts.

What players say

Players love the soundtrack and the jewel system that lets any character learn spells, but nearly everyone warns the game is short, around 8 to 11 hours, and ends on a cliffhanger with no sequel yet. The character class is chosen through an opening quiz, which some found unclear.
