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 deliberate, strategic turn-based chess-like battle game set in a fantasy mythology, where you position and coordinate a party across varied terrain, leveraging elemental strengths and traps.

What players say

Players are split on the challenge: some find it punishingly hard, others say it is manageable with patience and proper use of the five-element system. The game is praised for its tactical depth and variety of equipment and skills, but criticized for a weak story, limited enemy types, a cheap aesthetic, and a poor English translation.
