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 measured, tactics-driven RPG where careful battlefield positioning and weapon-and-magic combos matter more than fast action.

About

Bounty Sword is a tactical strategy role-playing game set in a fictional futuristic world with a power struggle looming between Europea and the Kingdom of Rheinmetall. The game puts heavy focus on battle mode and offers a detailed tutorial one can go through before starting the story mode. During the battle your character can use close-combat weapons such as sword, initiate special devastating attacks, or use magic and items either to combat or as a remedy.
