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 tense, old-school JRPG with turn-based combat and grid-based navigation through distorted spaces, featuring a mix of mystery and gore.

What players say

Players call this a short, competent dungeon crawler that wears its Shin Megami Tensei influence proudly, especially the Blue Mage-like skill scanning system. The game runs about 5 to 15 hours, and while the story is light, the combat is snappy. Some mention occasional crashes or softlocks, so frequent saving is recommended.
