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 contemplative turn-based RPG where peaceful shrine life gives way to tense nocturnal spirit battles, balancing routine upgrades with tactical summons.

What players say

Players praise the art and voice acting but consistently say the story is too short and simple, with barely any character development. The tactical combat has depth but the game is grindy, you must watch H-scenes to earn upgrade points. Players are split on whether the challenge is fun or tedious, and some say the price is too high for the content.
