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 grid-based tactical RPG where time dictates events and enemy strength, requiring careful planning and exploration in a pixelated fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise the time mechanic that forces smart grinding and consequences, alongside grid-based tactical combat. Many note the game is challenging early but becomes easier around level 40-50. The retro 16-bit look and Argentine development are frequently mentioned.
