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.

What players say

Players praise the shift to a party system with three weapon types that encourages swapping characters in combat. The game is harder than it looks, with boss fights that demand reading attack patterns. The music is excellent and the soundtrack stands out. Some note the graphics are dated, and the PC version requires a manual language change and may have controller recognition issues.
