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 sprawling, character-driven JRPG with a rich narrative and turn-based battles that feels like a grand, emotional journey.

What players say

Players say it wraps up the Crossbell and Cold Steel arcs with three protagonist routes, but opinions split on the story: some find it a satisfying capstone while others call it fanfic-level or DLC-like. The Reverie Corridor instance dungeon offers lots of build variety, though one achievement requiring 1500 wins frustrates completionists.
