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 punishing turn-based RPG where you explore a secret graveyard as an executioner, balancing cute anime aesthetics with grim, tactical survival.

What players say

Players praise the chibi-art and active turn-based combat, but the machine translation ("HP" becomes "惠普") and AI-generated sprites divide opinion. The lack of a leveling system and inability to flee make early encounters feel unfair, as most attacks are one-hit kills. The game is short at around 7 hours, and the only DLC is cosmetic.
