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, fast-paced action RPG where you manage a game studio and battle rival makers in a whimsical world.

What players say

Players say this is the best action combat in the series, fixing issues from Sisters Vs Sisters. The story is average and the cast is fun, though there is no outfit customization and only one ending. Some call it grindy, with a difficulty spike in chapter five.
