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.

About

Code Vein II is an action role-playing game set in a post-apocalyptic world where Revenants are being transformed into hostile "Horrors." A Revenant Hunter must partner with a time-manipulating companion named Lou. Gameplay features third-person action combat and deep RPG progression, emphasizing specialized Blood-based mechanics and character customization. An evolved Partner System enhances tactical cooperation with AI companions during exploration and high-difficulty boss encounters. Success depends on mastering diverse weaponry and temporal abilities to survive a world defined by memory and ruin.
