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 methodical, old-school tactical RPG that feels like navigating a dark fantasy world with careful party management and turn-based combat.

What players say

Players are split on whether the nostalgia outweighs the rough edges. Many praise the classic Gold Box tactical combat and Dragonlance setting, but the dated interface, required numpad, and missing modern features like quick saving frustrate some. A few report save-wiping bugs in Dark Queen of Krynn, and one reviewer notes the copy protection was left intact unlike other rereleases.
