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 widely call The Great Axe an asset flip and shovelware, noting it is a copy of another Steam game. Several warn of fake or paid positive reviews. On the gameplay side, players describe a basic side-scrolling beat-em-up with frustrating no invulnerability and low-resolution lock.
