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 and story-heavy tactical RPG with retro pixel art and anime-inspired character customization.

What players say

Players enjoy the tactical gameplay, class mixing, and voice acting, but many find the story weak and the main characters unlikable. Some report bugs like the BGM cutting out, and opinions are mixed on difficulty, with normal mode considered easy but harder modes having frustrating permadeath mechanics.
