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 straightforward, nostalgic JRPG with turn-based battles and a classic fantasy quest to gather allies and stop a demon.

What players say

Players describe Bonds of the Skies as a short, easy JRPG that evokes classic 16-bit RPGs, often comparing it to SNEA classics or a loose sequel to Skies of Arcadia. However, reviews are split: some praise the combat system, while others note a punishing true final boss requiring heavy grinding, a rough translation, and no mouse support on PC.
