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 fantasy RPG where you carefully plan each turn to steal enemy abilities and turn the tide of war.

What players say

Players say the skill-stealing mechanic is the game's main hook, but it becomes a chore due to low success rates and no escape from high encounter rates. Despite having 100 skills, you can only equip 8, and the difficulty spikes late even on easy mode. Production feels low-budget with stiff 2D art, repetitive magic animations, and forgettable music.
