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 classic retro JRPG with open-ended exploration and strategic turn-based combat, driven by player choice and multiple story paths.

What players say

Players praise the combat depth and glimmering system but warn of an obtuse, disjointed story with little direction. The remaster is criticized for a 30 fps lock and mobile-style UI, though a mod fixes both. The game has no official Chinese translation, and English descriptions of items and formations are lacking.
