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 somber gothic side-scroller where you slice through demons with deliberate sword swings in a pixelated, linear fantasy world.

What players say

Players say Citadale looks nice but lacks a map and tutorial, leading to frustration. Bosses are repeatedly called painfully difficult with one-hit deaths, and the game is short. Exploration is open but some consider the design choices odd.
