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 grim, deliberate tactical RPG where you slowly piece together a party and navigate a morally ambiguous medieval town through turn-based combat.

What players say

Players widely call this a simplified, grind-heavy clone of Darkest Dungeon at a low price. Many appreciate the easier difficulty and faster pace, but others criticize the lack of a narrator, performance stutters, and translation errors. Opinions split on whether the trade-off is worth it.
