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, story-driven turn-based RPG where you explore varied locales, manage a personal base, and engage in tactical 5v5 combat.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and flashy combat, but warn about a punishing early difficulty spike and a short main story. The English translation is considered solid, though some find the UI confusing. There is a home base upgrade system that adds extra gameplay.
