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 faithful anime-inspired RPG where you relive key story moments, defend strategically, and trade casually through familiar fantasy lands.

What players say

Fans of the anime enjoy reliving season 1, but the game is grindy with repetitive battles and no quest tracker. Players warn of technical issues like save file loss, crashes on Steam Deck, and needing compatibility mode on Windows 11. The game does not include later seasons.
