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 methodical, story-heavy JRPG with a serious tone, switching between turn-based combat and exploration in a fantastical sci-fi world.

What players say

Players are split. Some call this the weakest Trails entry, criticizing a padded story, a gimmicky time loop mechanic, and a lack of metaplot progress. Others still recommend it, praising the combat, music, and character moments, especially if bought on sale and accepted as a glorified DLC for the first Daybreak.
