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.

What players say

Players praise the fast paced combat and free DLC, calling it beginner friendly with good netcode and an active online scene. The story mode is small but the soundtrack and single player content get positive mentions. Players are split on the character roster, some noting the inclusion of Fate characters before all Tsukihime characters.
