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 story-driven turn-based RPG with a focus on exploration, party management, and light tactical combat through a fantasy world of politics and war.

What players say

Players describe it as a promising but rough early-access RPG from a solo developer, with a fun turn-based combat system and charming art style, but held back by repetitive music, weak sound effects, clunky controls like no rebindable confirm key, and a grindy difficulty curve that expects more grinding than most are willing to do. The lack of Chinese localization is a common disappointment.
