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.

What players say

Players call it an underrated Falcom title that splits opinions. The high-school slice-of-life and action combat draw comparisons to both Persona and Trails of Cold Steel. Reviewers praise the music and self-contained story but note the combat feels stiff, the dialogue can be cringey, and the overall polish is uneven.
