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.

What players say

Players say Scarmonde is a faithful throwback to NES-era Final Fantasy with snappy turn-based combat where buffs, debuffs, and status effects matter. Equipment is not always a strict upgrade and class customization offers variety, though random encounters can be hard to escape and one overleveled character may make combat repetitive.
