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 tactical RPG where unit positioning and class upgrades define deliberate turn-based skirmishes on a quarter-view grid.

What players say

Players consistently say the tactical RPG plays like classic Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, but the story is thin and characters forgettable. The series moved from multiple endings to a single one, and some find the game grindy for perfect gear. Others criticize missing features like mouse controls and 30 fps lock that earlier entries lacked.
