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 frantic isometric action RPG where you weave through dense patterns of colorful projectiles while attacking with magical abilities.

What players say

Players praise the faithful character writing and soundtrack, but many note repetitive enemy variety and stages. Performance drops during boss fights and inflexible controller bindings frustrate some. The story is described as having many plot twists and a status quo reset.
