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 self-aware turn-based RPG with retro pixel graphics and a darkly comedic parody plot, where you control Cthulhu on a bizarre quest to become a hero.

What players say
Players enjoy the absurd humor and parody of classic JRPGs, though some find the random encounters too frequent. A highlight is the battle counter that eventually lets you explore freely. The game is short and inexpensive, but movement speed can be frustratingly fast. Longtime players compare it favorably to the developer's earlier Breath of Death VII.
