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 classic turn-based JRPG with multiple character stories and a complex fantasy war narrative, evoking nostalgia for old-school Final Fantasy.

What players say

Players praise the story and party-switching mid-battle, but warn of grinding. Opinions split on combat: some find it classic and balanced, others call it basic and spongy.
