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.

What players say

Players consistently say Steel Echoes is extremely short, around 20 to 30 minutes, and suffers from frequent crashes that can ruin the experience. Many recommend it only at a heavy discount, noting solid voice acting and simple puzzles but split on whether the brief length and bugs are worth even the low price.
