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 brooding, labyrinthine journey through shadowy dungeons where every weapon swing and enemy encounter demands careful thought, wrapped in a melancholic story of loss and conspiracy.

About
Adventure into a world of unparalleled depth and danger with SquareSoft's Vagrant Story. In this sweeping dungeon-crawling epic you play as Ashley Riot, a young assassin and spy for the organization known as Riskbreakers. Your goal is to unravel a deep and twisted plot and come to terms with the recent death of your wife and child. If this sounds a bit too cerebral never fear. Your path to recapturing your sense of humanity hinges on the destruction of countless vicious monsters and the exploration of dark and dangerous dungeons. Vagrant Story is awash in gorgeous scenery and features designs from Yasumi Matsuno and Akihiko Yoshida, the acclaimed artists and creators behind Final Fantasy Tactics.
What players say
A revered cult classic with a brooding, gothic atmosphere and a brutally deep weapon-crafting and combat system that demands mastery. It feels eerie, dense and uncompromising, a stylish puzzle-box of a game beloved by hardcore JRPG fans.
