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 linear, combat-driven trek through a dark fantasy world where you methodically shoot guardian shells and activate mechanisms.

What players say

Players finish Arabel in about an hour and praise its art style and music, but split on whether the platforming and combat are enjoyable or too unpolished to recommend.
