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
playing feels like a traditional action RPG with light fantasy exploration, sword combos and special moves, guided by a straightforward adventure narrative and a female protagonist.

What players say
Players compare the action-RPG combat to Zelda and Ys, praising the fluid controls and full voice acting. The game is short, about 5 hours, with a non-linear structure and yuri subtext, but some find it generic and note controller double-input bugs.
