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 tense, methodical tactical RPG where you manage a party through grid-based war scenarios with a focus on strategy and narrative.

What players say

Players call it a love letter to classic tactical RPGs like Shining Force and Fire Emblem, with grid-based combat and large battle maps that reward strategic thinking. However, they split on difficulty, some praise the clever reward system for taking fewer turns, while others complain about heavy RNG, scarce healing supplies, and fragile characters that make early fights feel unfair.
