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

You feel like a powerful, agile reaper tearing through gothic fantasy landscapes while customizing your build and solving environmental puzzles.

What players say

Players love the fluid combat and RPG-lite loot system, but the PC port crashes frequently, especially in the inventory and City of the Dead. Some find a workaround by opting into the public beta branch and forcing DX11. Later dungeons feel repetitive and enemies get too tanky.
