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 lighthearted, turn-based tactical RPG where you guide a princess through a storybook fantasy world with gentle challenge and whimsical charm.

What players say

Players compare it to a lighter Darkest Dungeon with anime art and varied classes, but many find the dungeons repetitive and leveling grindy. The combat can frustrate with high miss rates and enemy stun-locks, especially on hard mode. Reviews split on whether it is too tedious to finish.
