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 modernized classic JRPG that blends retro pixel art with 3D worlds, offering a story-driven adventure with satisfying action combat.

What players say
Players call this a faithful HD-2D remake with beautiful visuals and music, but opinions split on the story: some find it slow and tropey while others enjoy the character interactions. The crafting system is deep to the point of being overwhelming, and combat can be trivialized by spamming strong moves.
