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

In a fantastical Venice, The Corpus are deceived by a cunning necromancer. Transformed into an undead fiend, the conniving imposter is hell-bent on destroying the reinstated Death and the council of Corpus. Only Scarlett, the daughter of Death, can stand in his way. Knowing nothing of her destiny at first, Scarlett has to learn about her special powers and become a mighty warrior, strong enough to defeat the greatest threat to the world of the living. She must master her incredible supernatural powers and capabilities, in order to save her father and curse the necromancer and his gruesome henchmen to the eternal hereafter.
