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 RPG where every action is statistically resolved, rewarding careful exploration and patience across a vast, atmospheric fantasy world.

What players say
Players praise this free CRPG for its exploration and old-school design, but they consistently complain about the slow walking speed and the inability to move with the keyboard. The game takes about 20 hours to complete, with a tough start that eases as the player becomes overpowered near the end.
