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.

What players say

Players describe Absolum as a satisfying mix of Hades and Guardian Heroes. Combat is fluid and builds are varied, but a significant portion report the endgame is poorly balanced and final bosses feel awful. The biggest complaint is unstable multiplayer: crashes and disconnects ruin co-op sessions, with no fix in sight. Reviews also note the game is short and progression is fast.
