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 humorous, retro-style RPG with turn-based combat and a quirky Lovecraftian detective story.

What players say
Players enjoy the humor and homage to classic JRPGs, but note the sharp shift from 3D to pixel art and real-time to turn-based combat from earlier episodes. Combat is balanced and challenging, though some find the story and mechanics generic for the genre.
