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 quirky, story-driven RPG with dark humor and turn-based combat, set in a pixel-art supernatural investigation.

What players say

Players are split on this RPGMaker entry. Some enjoy the short, silly story and the bond between Bruce and Jade, while others find the writing shallow, the combat confusing, and the English translation rough. Several note later games in the series are stronger.
