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 classic turn-based RPG with deep dungeon diving, exploration, and a comic-book-inspired fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise the art style and tactical turn-based combat, but many note the difficulty swings from punishing early on to easy later. Complaints include uneven loot drops and a party experience system that discourages swapping characters. The ending feels abrupt to some.
