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 deliberate, story-heavy tactical RPG where you guide characters through a politically charged medieval fantasy conflict.

What players say

Players praise the Tactics Ogre-inspired gameplay and class system, but nearly all warn that the story ends abruptly and the game is unfinished. Many report bugs, crashes, performance stutter, and incomplete localization, leading to a split between those who see potential and those who advise waiting for a full release.
