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 bleak starting point as a criminal forced into combat slowly gives way to a determined struggle for growth and skill.

What players say

Players praise the freedom to explore dungeons, fight in the arena, and make choices, but say the game offers little direction and heavy grinding. The weapon system changes your combat style, and a relationship system ties into many possible endings.
