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 lighthearted and creative tactical RPG that combines studio management with humorous turn-based superhero battles.

What players say

Players praise it as a love letter to Power Rangers and tokusatsu shows, with a charming tactical RPG core and a catchy soundtrack. The studio management and crafting systems are fun for some but tedious for others, and mech combat is often called boring. It is short but replayable, though several mention unpatched bugs and a few find the difficulty spikes frustrating near the end.
