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 slow, deliberate descent into shadowy underground labyrinths where every step forward feels earned and every encounter with death carries real weight.

About

Sharpen your swords and prepare for an adventure full of treasures, monsters, and magic. Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land takes place in the Kingdom of Duhan, where a mysterious sphere of light kills thousands of residents. Demonic creatures from the underworld emerge, driving survivors beneath the castle. In the underground labyrinths, you must create party members from different races and classes and equip them with various items and weapons. If your party can overcome enemies, team members' clashing personalities, and the dreaded Reaper, you'll receive great treasure.
