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

Feels like a deep, deliberate strategy game where you carefully craft party tactics and explore a lovingly built pixel world.

What players say

Players praise the deep AI programming combat similar to FF12's Gambit system, with 25 classes and hundreds of items. However, the English version was abandoned by the publisher with no updates, leaving untranslated text and bugs. Fans recommend the free Japanese original instead.
