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 split on the combat: some find it weak and clunky, others say it improves and blocking works well. Most agree the game shines in its atmospheric lighting, music, puzzles, and rune-based spell system. The walking speed is often criticized as too slow. Levels become harder and more complex, with standout boss fights like the dragon.
