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 grim, methodical 2D action-RPG that feels like a lonely, punishing crawl through a cursed island's decaying ruins, with every swing of your weapon carrying weight and consequence.

What players say
Players praise it as a faithful 2D Dark Souls with a unique atmosphere and satisfying build diversity, though they are split on the missing map, some find it frustratingly maze-like. Many note the game is grindy, fall damage is a common death cause, and boss weapons often have poor scaling.
