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, thoughtful turn-based RPG that rewards careful party planning and pattern recognition over grinding.

What players say

Players are split on this Touhou JRPG. Many praise the deep mechanics, fast combat, and customization, but others warn of a grind with low drop rates and no minimap. Bosses often demand a specific strategy or party setup, and new characters join at level 1.
