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 strategic turn-based RPG with a historical drama feel, blending tactical combat and visual novel storytelling in a tense political landscape.

What players say

Players praise the character art and interactions but are sharply divided on the tactical combat, many find it tedious or too hard. The main complaint is that story updates have stalled for extended periods with no communication, leaving long-time fans feeling the game repeats old content without advancing the plot.
