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 brisk, tactical RPG where careful grid-based decisions are rewarded across replayable missions in a mysterious, retro fantasy setting.

What players say

Players praise the deep turn-based tactics and the huge roster of 25 truly distinct characters, but warn that the game is punishingly hard even on easy and does not allow saving mid-battle. The solo developer is responsive, though the story is nearly nonexistent and the character art is widely called ugly.
