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 deliberate turn-based tactical JRPG with pixel graphics, old-school feel, and a hint of comedy, where every encounter matters and consumables are key.

What players say

Players praise this game for its classic JRPG style, funny writing, and character progression. They compare it to older titles like Legend of Dragoon and Final Fantasy 9 while noting that despite simple visuals it can be surprisingly difficult.
