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

Soulbound Steel feels like a frantic tactical brawler where you command summoned undead warriors to both attack and defend, demanding constant repositioning and risk assessment.

What players say

Players praise its original parry-based mechanic, though they note it takes practice to execute. Opinions split on boss design, with some calling it cheap and others appreciating the fair challenge. The UI is widely criticized.
