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.

What players say

Players describe Frane: Dragons' Odyssey as a short, basic action JRPG similar to early Ys games. Many praise the relationship system that changes the ending, but frustration is widespread over the complete lack of tutorial, clunky movement, and a companion AI that does nothing in combat. Some players warn that the Steam port removed features present in older versions.
