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

An old-school RPG with a freeform, non-linear structure that invites exploration and character-driven storytelling, but can feel aimless or repetitive.

What players say

Players praise the freedom and complexity of this non-linear JRPG, but warn that it demands significant outside research and patience. The combat is deep and rewarding, though the difficulty can spike sharply, and the event rank system makes quests easy to miss without a guide. While some struggle with the lack of direction, others appreciate the unique, puzzle-like experience.
