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 say Zodiakalik is a love letter to old-school JRPGs with hard boss fights that can wipe a party in one turn, requiring grinding to progress. The game is short and fast-paced, with original music and a 3D world reminiscent of Landstalker. Some find the soundtrack uneven.
