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 casual, loot-heavy action RPG where you and AI allies bash through procedurally generated dungeons with a cheerful, low-stakes feel.

What players say

Players call this the final entry in the original FATE series, praising its relaxed loop of dungeon diving, fishing, and feeding pets to make them stronger. Opinions split on technical stability: some enjoy the nostalgic charm despite regular crashes, while others warn that one achievement is permanently broken.
