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 RPG with a comedic and absurd tone, focused on turn-based monster recruiting and battles.

What players say

Players say this finale shifts to a creature-collecting battle system, making it feel like Pokemon in hell. The story is the most serious of the series but still has funny moments, and the ending ties things together well. Some find the combat repetitive and the gameplay drags, while others enjoy the unique twist.
