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, customizable arcade brawler where superpowered characters unleash explosive attacks in chaotic local multiplayer matches.

What players say

Players see Shadow of Azrael as a janky but fun Dragon Ball Z-style fighter that rewards button mashing, though the AI can feel cheap by reading inputs. The controls need deadzone fixes, but the two-person team at Dream Within Studios is praised for quickly patching issues and responding to feedback.
