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 tense and methodical dance of life and death where every misstep is punished and every parry earns a sliver of relief.

About

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an action-adventure game set in a reimagined late 1500s Sengoku-era Japan. Players control Wolf, a shinobi on a mission to rescue his kidnapped lord and seek revenge on his enemies. The game emphasizes precise sword combat, stealth, and mobility, replacing traditional RPG elements with a posture-based dueling system.
