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 tactical, methodical fantasy RPG where you carefully command a misfit squad through punishing real-time-with-pause battles, balancing positioning and abilities against overwhelming odds.

What players say

Players praise the tactical party-based combat that rewards synergy, but many find the game's linear structure, shallow loot, and repetitive encounters disappointing, and fights often demand very specific strategies.
