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 blocky, vibrant world where you freely build and craft, explore, and customize your character in an open sandbox survival adventure.

What players say

Players love the blend of Minecraft-style building with a Dragon Quest RPG story, calling it emotionally impactful and richer than the first game. Many wish for a third entry. A common complaint is that excessive, unskippable dialogue constantly interrupts building.
