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 methodical, old-school turn-based dungeon crawler with a nostalgic pixel aesthetic and a linear story-driven adventure.

What players say

Players praise the class system and customizable party, with many calling it one of the best modern retro-style JRPGs. The story starts slow but gets compelling, while the dungeons are well-designed with satisfying puzzles. Combat is fast and engaging, though some find the encounter rate grating and the final stretch drags on too long.
