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 methodical, challenging wizard simulator where you carefully build a powerful spell set from scratch each run, facing tricky foes across procedurally generated levels.

What players say

Players are split on Rift Wizard 2. Many describe it as brutally difficult, with runs often ended by enemy immunities or interactions that do not work as text says. Some find the build-crafting a satisfying puzzle, while others call it frustrating and nearly unplayable without a guide.
