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 strategic time-traveling tactical RPG where you build a team of heroes through randomized events and face tough turn-based battles against a looming dark threat.

What players say

Players praise the art and the timeline-based combat but are sharply divided on balance and replayability. Many say the game forces specific party synergies, making runs feel samey, while others enjoy the challenge despite occasional frustration with the final boss.
