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 quirky rhythm RPG where you forge weapons by tapping to the beat and managing forge temperatures.

About

Groove along to the beats of the hammer falls, tapping your Nintendo 3DS Touch Screen to the rhythm in order to forge your shop's weapons. The higher your chain, the stronger and sharper the weapon will turn out. Any blacksmith worth his steel also knows that you have to strike while the iron is hot. Make sure to watch the weapon's temperature, which will affect its critical hit rate, durability, and special properties.
