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, turn-based dungeon crawl that rewards careful party customization across races and professions over flashy action.

About
Wizardry Xth: Unlimited Students is a dungeon crawling JRPG that uses a turn-based combat system with a team of 6 characters you can customize, from 10 races with 15 professions, during the game. Sequel to "Wizardry Xth: Academy of Frontier", this game improves on the team compatibility system and changes the crafting process. The game was only released in Japan. A near identical game was released by a different company for the PSP, in Japan only, called "Class of Heroes" that reuses most of the source code of this game. It has a large number of surface changes but also has the same dungeon layouts and items as this game.
