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 deliberate, story-focused tactical RPG where methodical turn-based battles and recruiting creatures with snacks drive the tension of a stranded journey.

What players say

Players praise the tactical combat and character builds, but nearly everyone notes the game is completely linear with almost nothing but wolf enemies and a difficulty spike in the second half. A bug at the last chapter blocks progress for some, and the ending leaves others wanting an epilogue.
