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 tactical card-summoning RPG that feels like a quiet, methodical board-game duel wrapped in fantasy trappings.

About

V-Master Cross is an isometric turn-based RPG released only in Japan. The main hero is a young boy who was transported into a weird magic world. The gameplay is based on a special card fight - the battlefield is divided into squares (5 fields for each player), on which the player can summon monsters from a specific deck of cards, with some that can only be placed on a specific field. Each summoned monster has its own look and stats.
