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 slow-paced, emotionally weighty JRPG with a retro pixel aesthetic and turn-based battles, driven by personal struggles and character relationships.

What players say
Players praise the inclusive queer cast and say the story handles trans and aro/ace themes with genuine intent, not as token additions. However, some find boss fights frustrating due to constant status effects and grinding, while others enjoy the fair challenge on lower difficulties. The scope is a manageable 10 to 20 hours with rewarding exploration and secret areas.
