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 vibrant hand-drawn action RPG with an emotional story and branching outcomes driven by player choices.

What players say

Players consistently report game-breaking bugs that lock story progress, especially in a main quest and the final boss. Many say the writing is weak and the plot feels like fetch quests, closer to a mobile game than a story-rich JRPG. The translation is poor, and combat is considered too easy with auto-healing. A few recommend it, but most find it not worth full price.
