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 lonely, punishing journey through a dark fantasy world where deliberate, skill-based combat and reactive play are essential, and death summons a ghostly ally that retraces your steps.

What players say
Players praise the atmosphere and tight combat in this 2D souls-like, comparing it favorably to Dark Souls. But many note it is short and punishing, with tanky controls that work best with a controller, and complaints about missing features like achievements and text scaling.
