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 whimsical, colorful action RPG with lighthearted combat and exploration, like a playful anime adventure.

What players say

Players praise the game's charm and nostalgic feel, but many criticize the camera controls as poorly aged. The story is simple and heartwarming, while the gameplay is repetitive and grindy, feeling like a PSP title for better and worse.
