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 gentle, family-friendly RPG that blends light-hearted exploration with turn-based trivia battles against a backdrop of pixel-art historical Japan.

What players say
Players appreciate the educational dive into Japanese history, but find the execution rough: a quiz game that punishes wrong answers by restarting, repetitive random battles, and a very short beta-length experience.
