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

Get ready to travel back in time with the family with the first Puy du Fou video game! Everyone knows the legend of King Arthur and his rival, the knight Lancelot du Lac. The latter, eaten away by jealousy, challenges him to a duel. Only Excalibur, the king's sword, breaks at the end of the fight and only the hilt remains. After a pact with Morgana, Arthur decides to throw what's left of Excalibur into troubled waters. But trapped by the fairy, he finds himself a prisoner of the kingdom of Avalon. Merlin the magician, commissioned by his beloved king, is responsible for finding the king's heir who can find the 15 pieces of the legendary sword, and bring King Arthur back from the underworld!
