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 classic, isometric, party-based RPG adventure through a medieval fantasy world with puzzle elements and a retro feel.

What players say

Players are overwhelmingly nostalgic for this 1998 action RPG, praising its unique rotating voxel camera and puzzle-heavy combat that requires using four distinct character classes creatively. However, some caution that it feels dated and grindy, with a few reporting crashes after the intro video on current hardware.
