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.

About

Stellar Blade is a third-person action-adventure game set on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Players control Eve, an elite soldier deployed from an orbital colony to reclaim the planet from hostile creatures called Naytibas. The combat system emphasizes timing-based parrying and evasion, with skill gauges that unlock powerful attacks and buffs. The game features exploration across ruined environments, side quests from NPC survivors in the last human city of Xion, and a narrative with multiple endings based on player choices.
