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 tense, fast-paced tactical RPG where you command elite demon-hunters in brutal, turn-based combat against a corrupting cosmic plague.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to XCOM in the Warhammer 40K setting, but many warn of brutal difficulty spikes and random events that can waste hours of progress. There is disagreement on the overall difficulty, with some finding it too punishing and others too easy on higher difficulties.
