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.

About

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Remastered is a remastered version of the 1999 action-adventure game. Set 1,500 years after Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, it follows Raziel, a vampire lieutenant executed by his master Kain and resurrected by the Elder God as a wraith. Raziel travels across Nosgoth seeking revenge against Kain and his former vampire brethren. Gameplay combines combat, exploration, platforming, and environmental puzzles, with Raziel able to shift between the Material and Spectral Realms, devour souls, and wield the spectral Wraith Blade. The remaster adds updated graphics, camera and control options, navigation features, and the ability to switch to the original visuals.
