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 wickedly funny power fantasy where playing the bad guy feels mischievous rather than menacing.

About

Overlord: Raising Hell is the expansion to the 2007 action role-playing game Overlord, which adds an extension to the game's single player with new levels, plot, enemies and weapons. Along with an extended story, Raising Hell also features new weapons and armor to be created in the forge of the Overlord's Tower. In the game's seriously warped fantasy world, players will become the Overlord and get first-hand experience of how absolute power corrupts absolutely.
