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 frantic, arcade-like action RPG where you blast through endless waves of monsters with flashy spell and dagger combos

What players say

Players describe Ritual as a relaxing but unusual hybrid where your character auto-bounces around levels while you cast spells. It is closer to a pinball game than an action RPG, with very minimal input required. The game is short, addictive, and has a good soundtrack, but remains obscure.
