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 methodical, punishing tactical battle where you carefully build a party and use the environment to survive procedurally generated dungeons.

What players say

Players compare it to Final Fantasy Tactics and Into the Breach, praising the deep class-based combat and high replayability. The game has no story, focuses entirely on gameplay, and is difficult but rewarding. Some find the UI clunky and enemy variety lacking.
