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 long-lost, barely-documented fantasy title whose rediscovery lends it an air of mystery sight unseen.

About

Knights of Decayden is a rediscovered (July 2022) title, a long-lost exclusive release for the original Xbox. It was developed by the team behind a series of acclaimed Star Wars games and quietly canceled by Microsoft two decades ago. Knights of Decayden (sometimes spelled as Decadyn) has been largely unknown to the public until now and helps highlight a hidden part of early Xbox history. The game went by many names, including Knights of Utu, when it was pitched in 2000 to Sony as a PlayStation 2 game. Ultimately it became an Xbox exclusive until it's cancellation.
