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 methodical, story-heavy RPG where every choice shapes a war-torn fantasy world through old-school turn-based combat and pixel art exploration.

What players say

Players praise the ambitious blend of JRPG and D20 mechanics with deep character customization, but say the game is held back by frequent bugs including crashes, freezes, and quest-breaking glitches. Reviewers note the developers are quick to fix reported issues, though the lack of autosave makes progress loss punishing. Some find the combat unrewarding and the material harvesting grindy.
