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 dark, medieval action RPG where you fight through monster-infested levels to find and destroy the source of a plague.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly say Plagueworld is broken and unplayable, with many citing bugs that prevent the story from launching, a mouse that glides to the corner, and clipping through the floor. A few see potential in the atmosphere and old-school graphics, but even supporters note the game has very little content and the developer appears to have stopped updating it.
