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, methodical action-RPG set in a burning revolutionary Paris, where every fight demands precise dodges, parries, and patience against relentless automatons.

What players say

Players say Steelrising is a fairly easy soulslike that works well as an entry point for newcomers, but suffers from repetitive enemies and environments. Combat feels clunky to some, and the bosses are often considered underwhelming. The French Revolution setting and weapon animations get praise, while performance on PC is criticized.
