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 tactical, party-based RPG where skill-based combat and strategic choice drive the feel of a dark fantasy world torn between technology and magic.

What players say

Players are split. Many praise the combat and build variety, but also report constant bugs, stuck scenery, and broken skills. Some find the story predictable and repetitive, while others get invested through the cutscenes. Controller support is widely criticized.
