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 sprawling, classic isometric RPG with a rich story, dark fantasy atmosphere, and moments of humor, played at a deliberate pace with real-time combat and deep exploration.

What players say

Players praise the world and flexibility but are split on the experience. Many warn that quest order can lock progress and the game is buggy, while others enjoy the blend of Diablo-style combat with classic CRPG exploration. Long-time players note the atrocious voice acting, exceptional soundtrack, and severe difficulty spikes that force retreating to grind.
