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 brisk side-scrolling action RPG where you dash through ruins, help rebuild a town, and bond with quirky characters in a cheerful anime world.

What players say

Players see this as a small prequel meant to tide over fans waiting for Hundred Heroes. It is a linear side-scrolling action RPG focused on rebuilding a town through many fetch quests. The gameplay and story are simple, and getting 100% completion is easy, though some find the side quests repetitive.
