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 punishing action RPG where you possess enemies to use their own abilities against them, exploring horrific worlds with a dark fantasy aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the body usurping mechanic and local co-op, but warn about game-breaking bugs, tracking attacks, and a very short 3-4 hour playthrough with no replayability. Opinions split on the difficulty, with some calling it engaging and others saying it relies on cheap one-hit deaths.
