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 polished, nostalgic pair of card-based JRPGs that feel like a guided, strategic journey through a classic fantasy world, refreshed for modern ease.

What players say

Players praise the story, music, and world, but note the lack of English voice acting is a letdown. Combat is card-based and described as solid, though some find boss fights long and boring. Long-time fans say the remaster looks good and includes a game speed option.
