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 detailed, slow-burn JRPG where you guide a team through political tensions and personal bonds in a richly narrative world.

What players say

Players call it a fantastic payoff to Trails from Zero, with an incredible second half and one of the best casts in the series. Some find the pacing inconsistent and the boss balance questionable, with occasional one-shots.
