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 nostalgic, challenging turn-based RPG with retro pixel graphics and classic fantasy combat mechanics.

What players say

Players call this a faithful spiritual successor to the SaGa/Final Fantasy Legend Game Boy games with modern quality-of-life options. The dozens of difficulty toggles let you switch off random encounters or cap total fights, and the detailed mutation and meat systems reduce old guesswork. Some find gold grinding tedious with multiple humans or espers.
