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 methodical tactical RPG where you assemble squads on a grid, make impactful choices, and unleash destruction with a darkly playful tone.

What players say

Players praise the story and the memorable character Gig, especially the unique Demon Path route. Split on the port: some call it a solid rerelease, others criticize the lack of quality-of-life features and no cutscene skip.
