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

Playing Seraph feels like a frantic, acrobatic dance where you weave through demon hordes with split-second dodges and automatic gunfire, balancing on a razor's edge between stylish flow and instant death.

What players say

Players praise the fluid combat and gun-fu concept early on, but almost all say the game becomes repetitive and grindy. The adaptive difficulty is divisive: some call it challenging, others say it creates unfair walls. A persistent launch crash on Nvidia cards is widely reported and the developer has not addressed it.
