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 relentless, beat 'em up roguelike where each new run feels fresh but punishing, demanding precise combat and adaptation.

What players say
Players are split on Ascendant. Some enjoy its rogue-lite platforming and couch co-op, while others find the combat frustrating and the enemy variety lacking. It is a moderately difficult game with procedural levels and no saving when you die, and it is now free.
