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 visceral, deliberate action RPG with punishing combat and a dark, gothic atmosphere that rewards precision and patience.

What players say

Players praise the art and combat but are split on the overall experience. Many find the difficulty tedious rather than challenging, citing issues like friendly fire that cannot be turned off and a weight system that punishes heavy armor. Performance problems and real-time daily quests also frustrate players.
