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 retro, character-driven RPG that feels like a heartfelt family drama unfolding through tactical dungeon crawling.

What players say

Players praise the music and nostalgic feel, calling back to old Final Fantasy and Ultima Online. However, the game is short and only covers Act 1, with no sign of Act 2 years after release. Some find the character portraits inconsistent and the save system restrictive.
