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 heartfelt, slow-paced journey through a richly detailed fantasy world, balancing tender character moments with strategic turn-based battles.

What players say

Players adore Estelle as a protagonist and find the story deeply emotional, but some say the game is bloated and too long. Combat and quartz mechanics improve on the first game, though difficulty can be inconsistent.
