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 slow-burn, text-heavy JRPG where you navigate a crumbling cyberpunk city-state, making choices that shape character relationships and multiple endings.

What players say

Players praise the story and world-building, especially the gritty cyberpunk atmosphere and a soundtrack inspired by Nobuo Uematsu. Many note a punishing early game that requires heavy item use, though updates may have eased it. Players are split on whether the combat stays engaging or grows repetitive.
