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 dramatic and story-rich RPG with classic turn-based combat and a challenging, theatrical feel.

What players say

Players are split on this 3D remake. Some praise the voice acting and challenge, while others find the port's performance poor with framerate stutters. The difficulty is divisive, with many citing overly frequent random encounters, brutal back attacks, and a punishing grind for missable items.
