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 slow, methodical tactical RPG where you guide characters across fractured timelines with deliberate, turn-based combat.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and story, but say the game is very short at around two hours. Combat is shallow with few meaningful choices, and only two characters are worth upgrading. Performance issues like crashes and lack of mouse support are noted, though the developer is quick to patch.
