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.

a methodical turn-based RPG where careful positioning and nurturing guild bonds feel as crucial as combat strategy

What players say

Players are split on Sanctuary Saga. Some praise its party relationship mechanics and nostalgic 16-bit feel, while others find the combat dull and grindy, criticism centered on clunky targeting controls and very limited skill progression. A few report losing progress to save corruption.
