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 somber, character-driven tactical RPG where grief fuels a quest for vengeance, with relationships shaping the journey.

What players say

Players praise the game's mature, queer-inclusive story and branching paths that reward multiple playthroughs, but note the controls are unintuitive and the SRPG formula is stripped down compared to Fire Emblem. The game is short, around 3 to 10 hours, and free.
