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 slow-burn tactical RPG that feels like navigating a grim, decaying world where every choice is weighted by desperation and the lingering shadows of a cataclysm.

What players say

Players are split on this RPG Maker title. Many criticize the enemy scaling that makes grinding pointless and causes severe difficulty spikes, along with occasional crashes. A few appreciate the original world and real-world parallels but note the lore is poorly explained.
