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 lovingly remastered classic that feels like a nostalgic journey through a straightforward fantasy tale with deliberate, turn-based pacing.

What players say

Players praise the pixel remaster's quality-of-life features like maps, save anywhere, and adjustable XP. Many find the core combat aged but charming, with a short 20-hour story. Players split on difficulty: normal enemies pose no threat, while bosses, especially the final one, rely on RNG and can one-shot parties. Some miss the bonus dungeons from GBA and PSP versions.
