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 praise the tactical depth and diverse characters, but note control problems, no scalable resolution, and some maps feel like a slog. A reviewer says the Chinese version is needed, while another calls it their favorite indie SRPG of recent years.
