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 combat, boss design, and story for bringing the franchise back, with some calling it close to Sekiro and better than Nioh. Several complain about recycled bosses and padded main quests, and a few report crashes and a frame cap around 90-110 fps regardless of settings.
