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 RPG balancing tense grid-based combat with the laid-back, quirky rhythms of university life on a strange island.

What players say

Players praise the art, music, and character writing, but many find the combat repetitive and the game overlong, with too many battles that don't evolve. Comparisons to Into the Breach are common, but reviewers split on whether the combat is clever or a tedious puzzle.
