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 breezy, retro-style RPG where you push through a straightforward adventure with light turn-based combat and gentle progression, all wrapped in pixel graphics.

What players say

Players split on this RPG Maker title. Supporters praise its old-school JRPG atmosphere and cute art, while critics point to untranslated text, poor balancing, and a slow, tedious combat system. The story runs about 8-10 hours.
