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 modest, methodical strategy RPG that feels like a small studio's earnest, lower-budget take on tactical turn-based combat.

About

Dragon Shadow Spell is a strategy RPG from Flight Plan, better known as the developers of the Summon Night games until they went bankrupt in 2010. Dragon Shadow Spell was their first attempt at self-publishing a game, and I have long wanted to see what else Flight Plan could come up with apart from Summon Night
