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 deliberate, old-school RPG where you navigate a hand-drawn open world with grid-based movement and turn-based combat, exploring at your own pace.

What players say
Players praise the old-school charm and quest design but split on the writing and mechanics. Combat is described as simple and clicky, with enemy spells forcing heavy potion use. A single character replaces the typical party, and the grid-based movement evokes classics like Wizardry. Critics point to clunky menus, a lack of choice in quest outcomes, and an art style some find ugly.
