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 slow-paced tactical strategy game where you carefully manage your town and class-based party to battle monsters through pixel art environments.

What players say

Players praise the cozy art and music but warn of steep difficulty: easy mode is challenging, normal is hard. The game is short at about 3 hours on normal, and replay value drops after one or two runs.
