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

You play as a sorcerer freely exploring and reshaping mysterious worlds with magic, fighting and building in a chaotic open sandbox.

What players say

Players call Arcane Worlds an abandoned early-access game that has barely changed since 2014. It is widely compared to the old Magic Carpet games but considered an unfinished proof of concept with no story, many bugs, and controller issues. A tiny minority enjoys the atmosphere and magic-carpet feel despite the incomplete state.
