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 fantasy RPG with a story-rich, character-driven feel, mixing anime aesthetics with turn-based strategic combat.

What players say

Players praise the tactical combat and character art but say the game was clearly designed as a mobile title and abandoned soon after Early Access launch. The story ends on a cliffhanger, Chapter 6 is the last, grinding is mandatory, and late-game balance is broken. A single developer finished Part 1 alone after the team dissolved, but no further updates are coming.
