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 fast-paced melee action game where you chain fluid attack combos and magic with no input lag, moving through a third-person hack and slash brawler.

What players say

Players compare it to early Devil May Cry and Chaos Legion, but say the controls feel clunky and the keyboard mapping is unintuitive. Reviews are split: some see potential and enjoy the gothic atmosphere and music, while others call it buggy, incomplete, and plagued by infinite loading times.
