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 methodical and challenging old-school dungeon crawl through a strange alien world, requiring careful party management and turn-based combat.

What players say

Players praise the deep character system and open world, but call it brutally difficult and grindy even by old-school standards. Many say a guide and fan patches are necessary, and the outdated interface frustrates some. The DRM requiring a manual code word is also a common complaint.
