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 deliberate, story-driven journey through a fantasy frontier with tactical turn-based combat and old-school role-playing depth.

What players say

Players say combat starts basic but grows tactical, though it gets repetitive. The game is crash-prone and has clunky UI, unbalanced vendor pricing, and lockpicking locked behind character archetypes. Translations into several languages are described as terrible. Some find the second half and ending a letdown, while others praise the writing and humor.
