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

It feels like a frantic, high-stakes battle royale with brutal melee combat and a constant sense of danger and competition.

About

In an era where warriors clashed face to face with cold steel, 100 outcasts converge on a cursed island in search of glory and gold. Only one will leave through violent close quarter combat with katanas, flintlocks, rapiers, and broadswords.
