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 methodical old-school RPG where you cautiously explore from a first-person view, pausing to plan your party's synchronized attacks against tough enemies.

What players say
Players compare Arcante to old Might and Magic games and appreciate the nostalgia trip, but many find the combat dull, the world small (6–8 hours), and the content shallow. A promised Definitive Edition with no discount for owners of the original frustrated some reviewers, and no updates have come since late 2020. The game feels like a solo indie project with potential that went unpolished.
