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 frantic isometric dungeon crawler where every spell cast drains your life, forcing you to balance aggression and survival amid monster hordes.

What players say

Players report Blood Magic is a buggy, unfinished game that crashes and has invisible walls. The core idea of using health to cast spells is interesting, but many say the implementation is sloppy, with poor collision detection and no way to restart a level. Some praise the concept while others call it a failed prototype.
