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

This feels like a janky but charming retro action-RPG where you stomp around in customisable mechs, mixing tactical grid-based battles with lighthearted, open-ended exploration.

About

Valess, a boy earning petty cash in a commune of drifters is suddenly met by Lock, a stand-alone golem. Valess' mother was kidnapped by a terrorist organization, and upon discovering that the leader of that organization has an enormous bounty on his head, Valess receives a golem of his own from Lock and decides to join him on an adventure into the unknown where numerous bounties await. Thus begins their journey of grit and oil across several continents!
