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 fantasy adventure blending real-time exploration with deliberate turn-based tactical combat, set in a grim but family-friendly world of vampires and werewolves.

What players say

Players describe this as a deliberately old-school tactical RPG with a nonlinear campaign that revisits the original's conflict from a different perspective. Combat can feel unfair due to poor balance, especially in the first half, and the game suffers from crashes. Players also note a short campaign, a mage build being overpowered, and some fanservice in the protagonist's design.
