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 retro hack and slash with randomly generated dungeons that resets on death, making each run feel fresh but tense.

What players say

Players are split on Dark Raider. Some praise its satisfying, souls-like combat and pixel art for a low price, while many others report game-breaking bugs that never got fixed. The save system deletes progress, opening settings causes a black screen crash, and keyboard controls cannot be rebound, issues that persisted from early access through full release.
