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 deliberately paced sidescrolling stealth experience where you glide through historically detailed 2.5D environments, favoring patience and precision over direct confrontation.

What players say

Players praise the ink-painting art style and the unique 2.5D stealth gameplay. Many find the story shallow, with a few actively disliking it. The difficulty is polarizing: some call it a relaxing playthrough, others say it is far harder than any mainline Assassin's Creed game, especially for the optional full-ghost gold medals.
