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 deliberately paced tactical RPG where careful positioning and resource management feel tense and consequential.

What players say

Players are split on Vestaria Saga I. Many praise it as a hardcore strategy game for Fire Emblem veterans, but warn about severe bugs: inventory checks cause crashes, and a gamebreaking bug with no official fix forces registry edits. Difficulty is extreme, even on easy, and hit rates feel misleading.
