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 nostalgic 16-bit RPG with a lighthearted cartoon aesthetic and a straightforward fantasy adventure feel.

What players say

Players are strongly split on this port. Nostalgic fans of the Sega CD original report the redone voice acting, changed dialogue, and blurry graphics are dealbreakers, while newcomers and those willing to use the built-in 4x experience and gold cheats find it a short, tolerable retro JRPG.
