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 modestly-paced retro-style RPG where you return to a haunted hometown, managing a manor while uncovering secrets through exploration and turn-based combat.

What players say

Players are split: some praise it as a smooth, classic JRPG with beautiful art and three endings, while others dismiss it as low-effort RPG Maker shovelware that reuses assets from the first game. Many reviews in Turkish and Russian treat it as a card-farming game.
