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 nostalgic turn-based RPG where you steadily recruit allies and explore a classic fantasy world.

What players say

Players say this is a port of a mobile RPG with gacha mechanics and a lootbox-style currency, though one reviewer notes you can ignore the premium shop. The story is generic but the party system lets you bring up to 12 characters into battle, and combat is fast with auto-battle. Reviews split on the controls and UI, which feel designed for touch screens.
