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 charming, creature-collecting RPG that feels like a warm, turn-based adventure filled with bonding and exploration.

What players say

Players enjoy the combat system but criticize the story as simple and the need to return to town every 20-30 minutes for expeditions as a grind. Some say it is not like mainline Monster Hunter games.
