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 grounded physics-based simulation of 16th-century jousting that feels tense and methodical, more about precision and timing than arcade action.

What players say

Players praise the realistic jousting and first-person view but agree there is very little content: two maps and three opponents. Many hope for multiplayer and more modes, while some note the character portraits use undisclosed AI.
